Adult Program
We are happy to offer classes with and without performance opportunities, drop-in classes, classes running in sessions and full-year options!
Please find information about our adult classes, for the 2021 2022 dance season, below.
Adult Flexibility Strengthening (All Levels)
Sundays 6:30-7:15pm with Jayde MacDougall
Focusing on shoulders, back, hips and legs, this class aims to help achieve flexibility on an individual basis. This flexibility class focuses on static and dynamic flexibility. In static stretching, muscles are lengthened through specific controlled positions, whereas in dynamic stretching, a speedier movement is used so the agonist muscle contracts and therefore lengthens the antagonist muscle, increasing the body part’s range of motion.
This class is for dancers ages 18 & over. There is no end-of-session performance for this class.
Adult Flexibility runs in sessions.
Session 1: September 12th, 19th, 26th & October 3rd
Fees (HST included)
- $36.00 per session (4 classes) – Due upon registration.
- $14.00 drop-in rate (space permitting, please phone or email prior to coming to class) – Due prior to class start time.
