Since then, Allegro has developed into one of Oakvilles finest dance studios offering ballet, jazz, tap, hip hop, acro, lyrical and musical the- atre to more than 400 recreational and competitive dancers. Artistic director Laura Dacyshyn continues to be the principal ballet instructor at the studio and she shares what keeps her motivated and inspired from year to year. As a teacher, its so fulfilling to see the progress in my students. Many of the girls and boys at Allegro have been with me since they were toddlers and today, they have matured into such confident and expressive dancers. Its nice to know that Allegro has been and will continue to be such an integral part of their development. She adds that it has been wonderful to see the friendships that have developed through dance. Many of these kids spend several hours a week at the studio and they have become so close to their classmates and teachers, almost like family. I know that these friendships will last forever. Our dedication and love for dance will always be the com- mon thread to keep us connected. f Programs at the Allegro School o Dance start at age three with Creative Movement and progress into advanced classes for teens and seasoned pre- professional and competitive dancers. Creative Movement is a fast paced and interactive class that introduces f pre-schoolers to the fundamentals o dance. This class allows beginners to express themselves through instinctu- al movement and musical interpreta- tion. Basic ballet steps and exercises for strength and flexibility are incorporated with imaginative games to keep young dancers inspired and stimulated while learning and having fun. From here, dancers have the option to branch off into many different genres as the studio caters to dancers of all levels and abilities. Even if youve never danced before, we can teach you, says Laura. In fact, this year we also offer beginner classes for teens and pre-teens. This coming year, the school will revolve its year-end show around dances from the past decade and revisit memorable choreography, songs and themes. I am so excited for this show and even more excited to start set- ting pieces on my students. This performance is sure to set a prece- dent for the next decade. Without a doubt, it will be a performance we will remember for years to come, Laura says. Space is available in some classes at Allegro.
