Miss Doreen Hayes started her dance school in 1956 with 85 students as a single mother with two small children. She began by teaching Tap, Jazz, Ballet, Acro and Baton in the dining room of her Pauline Avenue home in Toronto, turning her living room into the parents' waiting room., Miss Hayes moved to the Jane and Bloor location in 1957 to a small one room studio, and was the only teacher for the first five years. Over the years, Miss Hayes has encouraged the love of dance to thousands. Students and Teachers come and go but The Doreen Hayes School of Dancing has remained a consistent and professional Dance Studio for 55 years., During the 60's and 70's Doreen had a very popular lounge act and trio called Doreen Hayes and her 44's! A frequent headliner on the Airport Strip at the Woodbine Room in the Constellation Hotel, the Hook and Ladder club at the Beverly Hills Hotel and many others including the Black Knight Room at the Royal York Hotel downtown Toronto., Miss Hayes still works diligently, managing the school from her little office with the help of her 4 teachers, while continuing as a ROLE MODEL for women entrepreneurs and aspiring Dance Teachers.
Hey Rockin' Ladies :)!
Just did the drop in class at Rock n' Pole and I'm SPEACHLESS.
Not only did I have an amazing time but I definitely found the pole dancing place for me. Lori, of rock n' pole, gave me an impression that has surpassed my wildest dreams! Lori took every aspect of her pole dancing classes and gave us a sugar sweet taste of it all. From sits to splits I got to find out what pole dancing is really about (not to mention the INCREDIBLE shoes she has for you to purchase! couldn't help myself hehe!).
This studio is not just a place to go and learn but it's a community. A community where you can feel welcome with open arms and challenged to push your limits both physically and mentally. Personally, I know myself and my friends will be back to ROCK OUT very soon.
So for all those who are on the fence or even just a little bit CURIOUS, CHECK IT OUT and I can GUARANTEE you will not be disappointed.
Thanks Rock n' Pole,
Until I see next time... ROCK ON!
