The Ontario School of Ballet (OSB) was founded in 1979 by Executive Director Sarah Lockett, to provide high quality dance instruction for students of all ages, in an inspirational environment. The school is committed to nurturing students from recreational to pre-professional levels of dance, by developing skills through excellent programming. Ms. Lockett's 33 years of experience has guided thousands of young dancers from the basics to professional careers. OSB is one of Canada's leading dance institutions. All classes are taught by expert accredited dance educators. Limited class size allows for individual attention and guidance. The school is committed to fostering the development of disciplined, self-confident students, who will grow from their training, whether their goal is to achieve a career in dance, or apply the knowledge they have gained to other professions.
"As a huge advocate of the multi-disciplinary approach to learning, it remains our mission to provide dance training from a variety of informed, pedagogical methods. What is unique to our approach is that CAS offers everyone a chance to combine their interests and strengthen their body knowledge and neural pathways by experiencing the coherence in dance. We offer a range of dance programming recreationally and intensively through our CAS Performance Companies in Ballet (ABT), Contemporary, Hip Hop, Jazz, and Modern. Our studio is a creative arts incubator unlike any other in Toronto!"
OUR MANDATE is to make dance available to all who wish to pursue it: this is the guiding principle which breathes through the school. Our programs are tailored to all ages and all levels: from the very young to the pre-professional and mature student. Our highly qualified staff nurtures and encourages creative development and self-discipline, empowering their students with strong dance technique, musicality and social awareness. They are encouraged to be intelligent and honest about their dance art.Dance as a performing art is recognized at the end of year: Let's Dance Festival in June is a week-long celebration of dance and the culmination of a year of learning. Any dancer who is committed and fulfills the requirements, can take advantage of extra performance opportunities by auditioning for our annual production of NUTCRACKER, performed in December.Our students learn that dance is a communication tool and this knowledge gives them a sense of excitement about dance as creative expression. Many of our students have pursued their education in dance and choreography at professional schools and universities. Some of them have become professional artists in their own right. All have acquired a true appreciation and love for dance.
