Just saw Silent Screen! Please bring NDT choreography back every season and show Toronto audiences how incredible contemporary dance theater can be. Beautifully performed by our very own NBoC. Glad the new artistic director is shaking things up!

Had Saturday morning classes with Anna E, she’s an amazing instructor. Highly recommended!

Saw The Winter’s Tale on recommendation, it was visually stunning, with loss, reconciliation, and hidden truths unfolding through masterful choreography where things aren’t always what they seem. Excellent production and an outstanding troupe.

Beautiful studios and classes. However, some teachers (specially for the beginner ballet classes) are not ready to teach beginners. There are some subs that shouldn't be there (Patricia Pyrka, etc). If you take ballet classes, make sure you take them with a professional teacher who has had a dance career and experience teaching. Also, I'm happy to see that Sarahi doesn't teach there anymore. She is a terrible teacher with no skills at all.

The Nutcracker is a must-see every Christmas season. The location is right downtown, so getting there is easy and convenient. I highly recommend purchasing tickets in advance because they sell out very quickly. I also loved that they sell Nutcracker magnets. I bought one as a souvenir and it was a great touch :)
