Huge congrats to our dancers who got their first pair of pointe shoes over Spring Break! We are so proud of your hard work and dedication! #hardworkpaysoffs #pointeshoes #edfproud

No Class Alert!!! March 29-April 4 is Spring Break! Enjoy a week of rest and relaxation and maybe (hopefully) some sunshine

Always remember; you are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, smarter than you think and more beautiful than you could ever imagine. #yegkids #yegmama #yegmoms #yegdancer #yegdancestudio

Love our Saturday morning classes. So many little smiles and so much energy. This community, these kids. THIS is why we do what we do! #yegkids #yegdance #yegdancestudio #yegmama #yegmoms

"We can all do small things, with great love, and together we can do something wonderful" - Mother Teresa 2020 in Review We have seen all of our dancers grow SO MUCH this year and are so proud of their hard work, dedication, perseverance and resilience. ... We leave 2020 more thankful than ever for our dance family and for those who have stuck by us through this craziness. It hasn't been easy but it has been worth it to see each and every one of our dancers grow and develop despite the obstacles put in front of us this year. Maybe that should be the word that encompasses our 2020. Forget pandemic...let's use GROWTH. Because along with the all of the unknown; we have adapted and pivoted, we have learned new ways to learn, and we have opened doors that we didn't even know existed before. We have expanded our view of dance, dance education and it's delivery. We have learned new ways to deliver programming and to help keep our students mentally and physically healthy. All of which will forever change the way that we move forward. To every single dancer (and their family) who has been with us through 2020 we thank you from the bottom of our hearts for going on this ride with us. We believe now more than ever that dance makes a positive impact on all of our lives and we will forever hold on to the memories made in 2020. For with these memories in hand, we know that our strength is in our togetherness; and together, we can make the unprecedented seem a little less scary, a little less foreign and a whole new kind of special. And WHEN we get to the light at the end of this tunnel and see the day we can welcome you back into the studio with a hug instead of hand sanitizer, we will hold on a little longer, work a little harder and enjoy the togetherness more than every before. Stay safe, stay hopeful, be kind and stay hungry. See you in 2021!!!

2020 in Review Hand delivered scholarships, our first online recital and a finale learned entirely on Zoom. There is no stopping us.

"True Friends are never apart, maybe in distance but never in heart" - Unknown A look back at 2020 (March) - What a whirlwind! Started with Dance Power ended with our first lockdown. So proud of our dancers for making this transition with us and staying dedicated to their training! #edfspirit

We are working with Dance Safe Alberta to help reclassify dance and get us back into the studio. We love what we do and want to keep educating dancers. Please sign and share this petition! Every voice counts!

It’s random acts of kindness week at the studio. Isn’t this a wonderful idea to spread kindness in our own community. No act of kindness, no matter how small, is ever wasted - Aesop #edfspirit #randomactofkindness

Great reminder that what we learn in our activities online or in-studio is so much more than just the steps. We will work hard to continue to support your dancer and their mental and physical health even if we cannot be together in person. Stay safe, be kind. We are all in this together.

In light of the announcement from the Government of Alberta yesterday, we surveyed over 90 dance studio owners across Alberta regarding their classes and COVID-19 transmission. This is what we found. We love what we do and we take the safety of our dancers, faculty, staff and their families seriously. We want dance to continue to be a safe outlet where children of all ages can get exercise and reap all the mental health benefits of dance. We thank all of our EDF families fo...r their help in keeping our studio a safe place for our dancers and hope we will all be back in our building together very soon! #dancesafeinalberta #danceisimportant #dancesafealberta

For those dancers who were planning to attend this weekend please see the message below from 1820 Dance Convention #bettertogether

We’re smiling behind our masks because we’re so happy to be in our second month of in-studio classes! We have done many things to #adaptandpivot to our new normal: We’ve become tech enabled allowing those dancers who are sick or unable to take class in-studio to do so safely from home... We’ve been wearing masks, physical distancing and sanitizing our hands We’ve made changes to our curriculum and class sizes to maximize distancing in our classrooms We’ve updated the flow of traffic in our spaces (and closed others) to promote distancing and reduce gathering We’ve updated cleaning protocols and wipe down all touched surfaces between every class We’ve learned we need to be creative in this new world and will continue to find new ways to bring the happiness, accomplishments and all the good feels through out this crazy season! Thanks EDF Families for all your love and support! #edfpride #bettertogether #yegdance #edmontondance #danceclassesforkids
