THE FIRST DANCE CLASS I ever took was baton twirling at the Heather Meyers School of Dance in Regina, Saskatchewan. After a move to a small prairie town, I continued with tap, jazz and ballet lessons throughout my school years. Dance became an important part of my life, and I wanted to get to know it more deeply. I came to Ontario for a university dance education, where my courses focused on modern dance and ballet, and also on dance-making, performance, and the history of dance and its place in the wider world. With this new knowledge, my appreciation for dance only grew.
When I was a new mom living in downtown Toronto, I was invited to go see something new: an aerial silks recital. The way the dancers climbed, dangled and dropped while suspended from the ceiling by lengths of fabric was mesmerizing. I signed up for classes, and by the end of the first one, I was hooked!
Many courses, workshops, practicums – and moves – later, I opened my own dance and aerial arts studio in Meaford! I have been so lucky to be able to share my love for dance and aerial arts with the community for almost a decade now, and look forward many years to come.
