Dancing with Carolyn! offers dance classes to boys and girls between the ages of 18 months and 10 years old. All classes are led in a non-competitive, positive, and inclusive environment. We believe children's dance classes should offer a balance of technique, creativity and play. Our highly qualified teachers use creative stories, imagery, and play to teach the technical aspects of dance.

Dragonfly Dance is dedicated to bringing quality bellydance instruction in Toronto that is open to creative exploration while keeping great respect for the traditional forms of the dance. Our focus is versatile. While our foundation is Oriental Raqs Sharki, composed by both Egyptian and American Oriental styles, our classes spring from a vision that is open to the exploration of diverse styles: from the traditional rich folklore variety of the Middle East to the modern developments of Bellydance fusion and the enthralling images of Bellydance fantasy. Our view of bellydance is spiritually and creatively inspiring, free in its exploratory component, yet grounded in a deep understanding of the roots of the dance. Dragonfly Dance is a unique school, forming students in traditional Egyptian Dance but also well rounded artists knowledgeable and skilled in different international bellydance styles and both traditional and modern bellydance props.
The core of Kaeja d'Dance is driven by the creation of new and original dance through the interconnected mediums of live performance, educational/community programming and dance on film. Led by Karen and Allen, our work addresses universal qualities of life and investigates the power of dance to elevate and unite the human spirit against physical, social and environmental obstacles. We remain committed to social and artistic exploration, and utilize the language of choreography - and the interrelated tributaries of performance, education and film - to incite a passion for movement and to nurture a new appreciation for the richness of the human experience. Our vigorous commitment to the profession and community of dance is inspired from the relentless core of passionate joy, stimulating ideas and intrigue that Karen and Allen Kaeja inhabit. This is reflected in our consistent search within ourselves to inform and invigorate the Company vision and the future of dance and dance audiences through educational projects for youth, professional dancers and educators, and through outreach activities for new and current audiences.
