Pia Bouman School For Ballet and Creative Movement
Art School 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. Some of them have become professional artists in their own right. Many of our students have pursued their education in dance and choreography at professional schools and universities. 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. 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. Our highly qualified staff nurtures and encourages creative development and self-discipline, empowering their students with strong dance technique, musicality and social awareness. Our programs are tailored to all ages and all levels: from the very young to the pre-professional and mature student. All have acquired a true appreciation and love for dance.
