Don’t forget.... We’re moving online (for now!) Due to the updated lockdown guidelines issued by the province, we won’t be able to resume in-person classes this week as we had hoped. So we’re bringing your class to you! Starting Saturday, January 16th, we will be doing Zoom classes with our FGDC dancers. We can probably all agree this is not ideal, but it is what we need to do to keep moving forward. And if nothing else, it’ll break up really boring weeks!... You will receive an email link from your teacher, which should land in your inbox no later than 2 days before class. Please let us know via email if you don’t receive a link! So start looking for a dance space that will give your dancer some room (and give you some quiet time!). We do recognize that space is often the hard part about dancing at home, so all of the classes will be geared towards a smaller space. We understand that you’re probably disappointed, but we must follow the guidelines. And we know that you as parents would not want it any other way. Your dancer's safety and health will always be our first priority, as they are very special to us as well. Watch for further updates via email, on Facebook and Instagram, and on our website. FGDC Faculty

Hi Everyone!! Due to the extended covid lock down, we will not be able to re-open on the 11th as planned. ALL classes will resume via Zoom, and will begin starting Saturday, January 16th. Please check your email for the links for classes. If you have not received an email within 24 hours of your scheduled class time, please reach out to us. ... Thank you!

We are saddened by this news.... Kathy Schmidt was an incredible person who devoted so much of her time to the arts in Thunder Bay. She was an amazing Festival organizer who truly loved children and the arts. She will be sincerely missed. We are keeping her family in our thoughts during this difficult time.

We hope everyone had an amazing holiday!! As per lockdown rules, we will be returning to the studio on Monday, January 11th We hope everyone had an amazing holiday!! As per lockdown rules, we will be returning to the studio on Monday, January 11th
