Our Mission is to provide a safe and happy environment for students of all ages to achieve their personal goals in dance or music through encouragement and fun.
Welcome to Annemarie's Dance Academy - where friendships are formed. For over 23 years our school has been involved in dance education. We believe that our success comes as a result of providing solid training and quality service, along with an underlying belief in the strength of our organization. We provide quality dance instruction to recreational and competitive dancers.
Whatever their goal - professional, career, or personal enjoyment, each student is offered equal attention and the opportunity to perform. We offer weekly classes + Summer and March Break Camps. Suzy Striperski, founder and director, is excited to be directing the Academy for its 15th year at its new location.
The Grand River Dance Academy is located in Downtown Fergus. Dancers come from Fergus, Elora, Arthur, and Guelph areas to enjoy our professional and fun classes. GRDA offers Introductory & Creative Dance, Ballet, Tap, Jazz & Recreation Jazz, Stretch & Strengthening class, Hip Hop (Jr./Int/Sr) & Contemporary, Musical Theatre and Acro!
Our primary focus is on technique and having fun learning it. GRDA is a registered RAD, CDTA and Acrobatic Arts facility, which means we belong to national and international dance federations that require it's members to be accountable for the material we teach. Did you know RAD and CDTA instructors are required to have yearly training and/or attend workshops or other dance related activities in order to maintain their membership? Why would you trust your child's dance education with anything less.
The GRDA serves Fergus, Elora, Arthur and Guelph. We offer programs for Children, Adults, Birthday Parties, Christmas Parade and recital summer camp.
At Center Stage, the dynamic balance between technique and performance is explored through a curriculum that emphasizes the development of the dancer as a whole with a strong focus on building character. Center Stage's founding principles of perseverance, dedication, enthusiasm, and creative expression bring life to a new generation of dancers. Proudly serving the Georgetown community since 2001, Center Stage's artistic directors and teaching staff strive each day and with each new season to build upon past successes to enhance their students' current and future experiences. With open arms we invite you to join the Center Stage family for recreational or competitive classes, workshops or summer camps and discover the dancer you've always dreamed you could be.
