We’re so happy to be dancing together again — October feels like the perfect moment to say thank you for being part of our warm, growing community.
Bring-A-Friend Week 2025 was wonderful; seeing students share their love of dance with friends made the studio buzz. If your friend registers for a yearlong class, you’ll receive a $25 account credit and they’ll get a special welcome gift

In addition to highlighting your business with other creative opportunities, as a special thank-you to local sponsors for supporting our Nutcracker, members of the cast come visit your place of business for a short, festive dance and a quick photo/video we share on your social channels, making your business a clear voice for supporting our local talent.
These brief visits are a fun way to celebrate your support, delight customers and staff, and bring a little Nutcracker magic to your business.
Interested? Please let us know if you’d like a sponsorship package at info@CadanceAacademy.ca and to reserve a visit, limited slots available.

“Maya and I both feel pure happiness when we dance. For me, dancing simply makes me happy. Maya loves it because it’s so creative — there are so many different moves. She especially enjoys the challenge of performances like the Nutcracker, where she can push herself to do her best and fully inhabit the role. We both cherish the joy, creativity, and personal growth that dance brings.”
