Kids classes
About the program
Treat your child to a fall filled with fun, creativity and self-confidence!
Children’s classes are back: kids ages 6 to 12 can now explore the world of musical theater with Lindsey every Monday at 4.30pm and tap dance with Sydney on Wednesdays at 5pm. The good news for parents is that you can stay on-site to work, have a coffee, or simply watch your children in action.
Try it for free during our open house, September 7–11 at 1956 rue Frontenac.
Since 2019, with our Cat’s Corner families growing up, the school has started offering tap and swing dance classes for our younger ones, from age 3 to 14 years old.
Since we moved to Centre-Sud area, we’ve been working on rebuilding a youth program. Our goal is to be recognized as a space designed by and for families. We hope to join the neighborhood’s youth roundtables and develop partnerships with family organizations. Also, childcare is now available for free on Fridays when there’s live music!
