We do pliés at every age because dancers always need to bend their knees with control. A plié helps a little dancer learn balance and coordination. For a professional, it’s still the start of a strong jump, a soft landing, and a smooth turn.

The movement looks simple, but there’s always more to improve: posture, alignment, strength, and how the feet work against the floor. That’s why we keep coming back to it—pliés grow with the dancer.

Dance has a way of bringing people back together. 💜💚

More than 20 years ago, Ms Adele taught Ms Kaitlynn and Ms Julianne at Studio III. Today, she’s back with us, choreographing competition numbers and teaching intensives.

Ms Adele also taught Ms Maria for 10 years at another studio in the GTA. When we were looking for a teacher, she recommended Ms Maria to us. Now Ms Maria teaches at Studio III and helps Ms Adele’s soloists polish their routines and get stage ready.

We love seeing these connections come full circle!

Every great routine starts somewhere. 💜

The first video is our contemporary group beginning this year’s choreography with Ms Kaitlynn. It may take some time to get rolling but that is okay. The second celebrates the choreography award she received for last year’s piece!

Ms Kaitlynn brings the vision, and our dancers bring it to life. Their ballet training with Ms Karen and Ms Kaitlynn gives them the strength and technique to take on choreography like this. We can’t wait to see how this number grows over the season! 💚

Why do dancers warm up in a wide plié and move from side to side? 🩰

This simple exercise gently wakes up the legs, hips, knees and ankles. It also helps dancers practise shifting their weight from one foot to the other—something they use constantly when dancing. The movement should stay controlled, with the heels grounded, knees aligned over the toes and the spine lifted. Dancers should only work within their natural turnout and comfortable range—never force the knees or hips.

A simple movement with a big purpose: preparing the body to move safely! 💜💚

A new season is here—bringing colourful leaves, cozy sweaters and plenty of reasons to dance! Just like the seasons, dancers are always changing, growing and discovering something new.

Here’s to a fall filled with pointed toes, joyful movement and memories made in the studio. 💜💚

Good technique is the foundation of every strong dancer.

In this video, Ms Karen is helping a student understand how to use her turnout correctly and point her foot properly. These may seem like small details, but they affect everything a dancer does—from balances and turns to jumps and safe landings.

Turnout should come from the hips, not be forced through the knees or feet. A properly pointed foot should continue the line of the leg without curling or gripping the toes. Learning these details takes time, repetition and careful correction.

Good technique isn’t about being perfect. It helps dancers:

✨ Move safely and reduce the risk of injury
✨ Build strength, balance and control
✨ Create clean, beautiful lines
✨ Progress to more advanced skills when they are ready
✨ Develop habits that support every style of dance

The exciting tricks may get the attention, but strong dancers are built through the consistent practice of the basics—pliés, tendus, posture, placement and proper alignment.

That is why our teachers continue to correct and refine the smallest details. Those small corrections today create stronger, safer and more confident dancers tomorrow. 💜💚
