Lauren
I grew up in Edmonton, AB, training competitively from age 4 in various styles of dance – jazz, tap, ballet, and contemporary. Tap dance was and is my favorite! I further developed a love of fine arts, dance, technique, and diverse choreography at Victoria School of Performing and Visual Arts from grades 8-12. After completing my Bachelor of Arts, I specialized in Early Childhood Education earning my ECE Level 3 certification.
I have worked in various childcare centres, summer camps, as a nanny, and since 2013, provide childcare in my local dayhome. When my oldest daughter started preschool dance classes, I was smitten with her enthusiasm and energy toward movement and rhythm. I decided to connect my knowledge and experience with young children to my love of dance!
Program Sessions
Our program runs in 2, 12-week sessions from September through March. We will also have a 3rd 4 week Sampler Session in June. You have the flexibility to enroll for one session or take advantage of the full experience by enrolling in multiple sessions.
Special Events
At the last class of each session, we host a special demonstration to showcase the incredible progress and creative achievements of all participants throughout the session. This serves as a wonderful opportunity for children to share their newfound talents with family and friends, while also building confidence and a sense of accomplishment.
