20 - The Oakville Beaver, Wednesday September 5, 2007 www.oakvillebeaver.com Grace Academy of Dance and Performing Arts Developing your child's creativity As fall quickly approaches, parents are busy searching for programs in which to register their children. But with so many to choose from ­ how are parents to know which is the best possible choice for their child? "Grace Academy of Dance and Performing Arts offers an exceptional program in which we see children thrive and grow," says Academy director Heidi Knapp. Platinum winners of Oakville's reader's Choice Awards in the category of Best Dance Children's Instruction, Grace Academy offers classes in classical ballet, modern theatre dance, jazz, tap, hip hop, musical theatre and acting. "We provide students with the opportunity to explore their creativity while fostering a natural appreciation for music and movement," explains Knapp. "Students receive a solid foundation in dance and theatrical technique in an environment that is warm and friendly. It is a safe, caring and fun setting for students and their families ­ where strong friendships are developed as they develop a love of dance!" Grace Academy is one of the few schools that do not focus on competitive work within their program. Their highly qualified staff offers opportunities to participate in examinations as well as opportunities to perform within the community. All students are given the chance to participate in a specially written family musical at the Oakville Centre for the Performing Arts each year. According to Knapp "our focus is on building the individual ­ allowing them to grow at their own pace and in their own unique way. When it is taught correctly, dance will develop poise, grace, strength and flexibility as well as growth in personal expression and confidence!" Located at 785 Pacific road, unit 1, in Oakville.
