What an amazing start to the year! We have simply been having a blast with all of this season’s classes. The commitment and hard work of every single student is already starting to pay off.

With Thanksgiving right around the corner we wanted to take the time to say thank you to our incredible FDC Community! We are so grateful to our entire Footprints Family for supporting the studio this dance season.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for continuing to make our dance studio an awesome and safe place for our dancers.

Halloween Bash

Our tenth annual Halloween Bash in support of the Epilepsy Support Centre is right around the corner! Dancers (ages 6-10) are invited to the studio for a night of spooky and silly fun on Saturday October 31st from 1:30-3:30pm.

Partiers can come dressed in their Halloween costume! Partiers will have some fun with a Halloween themed dance class, and games with their dance friends. Please pack a nut-free snack for your dancer for a little break time. Admission is $10/child. All proceeds from this event will go directly to the Epilepsy Support Centre. Please RSVP via email or at the desk.

Recital Costume Opt-Out Option & Recital Scheduling Requests – Due Oct 24

We kindly ask that you let us know if you do NOT want to purchase a recital costume for this year by October 24, 2026. If we do not hear from you, we will assume that you want a costume for recital. (Dancers can still participate in recital without a costume, they will wear their dress code uniform.)

We also kindly ask that any scheduling requests for the week of Rehearsals and Recitals (June 7-12) be submitted by October 24 as well.  

Please take a moment to review our FAQ page regarding Recital Costume Opt-Outs & Recital Scheduling Requests at https://drive.google.com/file/d/1cVtR-Ro3YovVHOovceNWJnmWlxue4f_M/view?usp=sharing

Dress Code

Please ensure that students are appropriately dressed for their classes with hair tied neatly off the face for all classes.

Please label all of your dancer’s belongings so that we can minimize the mix-ups! If you have any questions about the dress code please just ask. Thank you to all of the dancers who have been following our dress code so far!
