Maple Academy of Dance — Kid-friendly Storytime & Classes in Vaughan, Ontario

What parents say

• Christine Lynch

  My daughter was a part of M.A.D. competitive program for two years. She started dancing competitively later than most and needed much work on her technique. Ms. Ginette and Ms. Rose saw potential in her and with much patience, understanding and hard work gave her the opportunity to become, (in my opinion) a very skilled dancer. She went from being the type of dancer that was ok to be hidden in the background to one that displayed incredible confidence and caught the attention of judges allowing her to win many awards. The entire M.A.D. faculty helped my daughter become more confident, self-disciplined, focused and appreciative of the value of good work ethic; which are invaluable life skills. I am personally grateful for all that the faculty has done for her. People would often ask me why we drive all the way to Maple and often I would say 'because it's worth the drive to Acton' as the popular commercial goes. Thank you M.A.D.

  Maple Academy of Dance (MAD) goes above and beyond creating a fun and progressive dance experience and education. My daughter has been part of this amazing dance family since 2014 and she has learned so many valuable skills that are not only valuable in dance but in also in your everyday life. The studio is clean and spacious and beautiful. The instructors are engaging, motivating, supportive and fun. Covid has definitely been a challenge but the company has worked tirelessly and admirably to maintain a safe dance operation. Ginette Guimond, the owner, along with her outstanding staff are exceptional and value the progression and safety of every dancer. Lastly, the families at MAD are truly supportive and like no other.

  My girls have been dancing with Maple Academy of Dance going on 4 years! They’ve made great bonds with friends and even their teachers. They feel welcomed and know that even on their worst days they always have someone to turn to and guide them down the right path. Maple Academy is also a safe place for my girls to unwind and dance all their stress away during these trying times. Maple Academy has taken the extra steps to ensure the safety of all students by making distance boxes for the girls to dance in.... distance markings in and out of the studio.... sanitizing in and out of the studio... ensuring that masks are worn (properly), checking temperatures and having parents check in online with safety questions. These are just some of the reasons why we’re comfortable with continuing dance during covid. Maple Academy is a family unit, and we’re glad to be apart of it!

  I cannot say enough about Maple Academy of Dance! Our family has been with the studio since 2006 and have had all three of our girls attend for their dance education. They have formed many strong bonds, lasting frienships and pushed themselves to be the best that they can be thanks to the many wonderful teachers that teach there. The teachers and studio director are fabulous and honestly teach with their hearts. They care about all the students and push them to reach their maximum potential not only as dancers but as people as well. I couldn't be happier! If you want the best in dance education and another home for your child- you need not look any further!
