What parents say
Cristina Siviero
We have had an excellent experience for our young daughter. Ms. Guiliana is a kind and warm ballet teacher and we are thankful for all of her patience and support with transitioning our daughter to participate in dance independently.

Amazing administrators and faculty! Best in class. My child loves the staff and has made lasting friendships while learning so many genres of dance through their recreational and competetive programs. I am confident she's learning from the best. Their students have gone on to study dance at the National Ballet and pretigious universities here in Canada and abroad. We, of course, look forward to the competive and year end shows because with Mr B at the helm, they are spectacular. If you register your son or daughter or sign up for adult classes, you won't be disapointed.

The teachers are great! The Etobicoke location is not as well run as their old location. When picking up my child I had found a little person who was dismissed outdoors with no parent in sight. I let the office staff know, but it has happened several times. So if you go with this studio make sure you are on time to pick up your child.

High quality dance instruction and excellent facility. When my daughter expressed an interest in dance, I knew this was the right place. I’d started at SBAD as a 5 year-old and spent a decade receiving exceptional dance instruction - and that’s true today as well. My daughter is in her fourth year now. Good teachers can make all the difference in keeping littler kids interested and motivated while building a solid foundation of technique. Not only has she enjoyed her ballet, jazz and acro classes, she’s really shown development (that she is so proud of) and I find the cost reasonable too. The staff really seem to care about the students. Plus, the end of year performance at a local theatre is something parents and kids enjoy tremendously. I’d highly recommend Sean Boutilier, whether just looking to keep your kids active or if your child expresses a deeper interest in dance.

My daughter started at Sean Boutilier Academy of Dance 3 years ago. She’s now 7 and I can’t get her to leave 😀. She loves the studio and so do we. She’s had Miss Andrea as her jazz teacher since she started and boy do we love her style. Miss Andrea is a firm but loving teacher who has taught my daughter so much about focus and fun in dance. The other teachers are just as great too. The studio takes dance seriously and their year end productions keep us coming back for more. My daughter uses the costumes from the show all year long - Halloween, dress up days. She’s really grown in her approach to dance and I can’t thank them enough. Shout out to Hope at the front desk who is amazing and keeps everything running like clockwork. Mr. Boutilier (Mr. B) is often around and the kids look forward to him observing their performances leading up to the final concert. Keep up the great work SBAD!
