Greetings Parents & Dancers,

A few updates for everyone.

June 2025 Year End Recital:
We are excited to announce that we are currently in the midst of the booking process with the Ancaster Memorial Arts Center to use as a venue for our June 2025 year end recital. Our previous venue, which was Redeemer University, was unable to provide any convenient availability in dates that would work with our programming’s timeline, therefore we had to look for a new venue with better availability of dates.
Of the available dates at the AMAC we are looking to book Tuesday June 10th for dress rehearsal and Wednesday June 11th for the recital performance. Please tentatively mark these dates in your calendars and we will update everyone when the booking process is completed and when those dates are fully confirmed. Although these dates are not on a weekend, which we would have preferred, the theatre is a beautiful and accommodating venue with professional lighting and projection capabilities, comfortable seating, ample parking, an elegant lobby area, appropriate and good sized dressing rooms and a concession area that can operate during our booking times.

Santa Claus Parade:
We are still awaiting a response regarding our application to participate in the Santa Claus parade. We have reached out again to inquire about our application. We anticipate a response later this week. We will update with more information when we have our response. Santa Claus parade is scheduled for Sunday December 1st 2024.
