March Break Dance Camp is going to be Magic!
The theme for the week is “Magical Dance Adventure”. Students will try out different dance forms throughout the week, and get to learn short dances in a variety of styles. For dancers who sign up for the full week, we will film some of these pieces on Friday and then incorporate them into a story appropriate to the week’s Magic theme. Dancers will have the opportunity to make super fun arts & crafts, as well as learn some simple magic to go along with our theme. If you are interested, dancers may sign up for the full week or you may pick and choose which days’ work best for your family.

Jay9 Dance Centre is transforming from PSB Dance Academy's Kingston Road location with the blessing of PSB's Artistic Director Karen Davies-Thomas. Jannine Saarinen (former teacher/manager at PSB) hopes to continue the same level of excellence that our location has always been known for.
​
Jay9 Dance Centre believes that dance, in addition to being a great form of exercise, can be an important part of a person's health and well-being. Dance promotes creativity and self-expression, as well as encourages confidence and strong self-esteem. We strive to view each student as an individual in order to help them achieve their specific goals. We welcome all recreational dancers, whether they wish to attend one dance class per week or ten. Our highly qualified and experienced teachers help foster a love of dance and creativity while promoting strong dance technique.
​
In the coming months, signs will change, the website will be launched and new teachers will join the current ones. Please join us for this new adventure...
