Holiday Season at EDA

For the fifth year in a row we are asking dancers to donate new unwrapped gifts for children in need in lieu of gifts for their dance teachers.  We have donated over 700 toys to the CP24/CHUM Wish program, which distributes gifts for children who otherwise would not receive any.

When you bring in a gift please see the front desk for your star.  Decorate and write your name on your star to be displayed on our WALL OF FAME.  This way your dance teachers will know that you have donated a gift in their honour.

Please note the studio will be closed from Sunday December 23rd to Sunday January 6th.  All classes resume Monday January 7th. 

Upcoming events:

Competitive Showcase at the Richmond Hill Theatre Sunday January 27th
Photo Day April 8th and 9th at the studio
Recitals May 6th and 7th Richmond Hill Theatre
