Denise Lafortune, the artistic director and principal at the Academy of Classical Ballet in Abbotsford does an amazing job training her ballet dancers. Many of her students will be doing their Royal Academy of Dance (RAD) ballet examinations this weekend and I (Darcie) will be playing piano for them. Here are some of the Grade 8 dancers doing an arabesque line from their barre work. This picture will be made into a canvas that will hang in the dance studio.

Good luck on your exam girls! You’re going to do amazing!
If you live in the area and are interested in a great dance studio that offers quality instruction, we highly recommend the Academy of Classical Ballet. They are running a free class for 3 - 6 year olds next weekend which is a great way to try them out. Please call 604-755-8225 to reserve a spot in the free class.
