Congratulations on successfully completing your dance exams — your hard work and dedication truly paid off.

• Our Argos Performance was a great success again this year and I have to say I think we stole the show!

• We always love performing for our community! The Shops at Pickering City Centre Fall Fashion Show was a blast!

• We had a wonderful time performing for our third time at the “EVOLVE Fashion Show” and or first time with and “Living Luxe Magazine Fall Gala event in Toronto! Our dancers were once again amazing!

• Although we were rained out for Pickering Artfest, you will see our dancers on Canada Day performing on the Esplanade on July 1st!

• Olivia performed over the holidays in “Hook” - The Pantomime for Dreamco - we know she was wonderful and they were lucky to have her talent bless the stage!

• Diversified theatre was fortunate to have Izzie, Zara, Shelby and Taijah performing in the Wizard of Oz in December for them! What a wonderful experience for our dancers!

• If you are at Wonderland this summer on a Friday, Saturday or Sunday, be sure to head to Showplace Theatre to see Olivia and Emmersyn performing in "Retrospect" - A Musical Review!

We are all very excited for you to sit back, relax and enjoy the show! The creative minds of our teachers will be on display, as our talented dancers bring the choreography to life. Our dancers will both amaze and entertain you! The beautiful and brilliant costumes which start out as creative ideas in our minds are all brought to life with the help of our very own teachers and Rosella of Dance with Me.

From all of the teachers, we would once again like to thank each and every dancer and parent for a wonderful year. We have enjoyed working with your children and hope you have an amazing and relaxing summer. As time passes by so quickly, enjoy these special moments!
