ABOUT OUR SCHOOL......
PROFESSIONAL, QUALITY INSTRUCTION
Our instructors have years of experience and offer high energy, educational classes. Specifically designed programs for different ages and levels along with a professional syllabi offers advancement in our school. We offer a progress report along with a recommendation report in March for the upcoming year. Dancers are always placed in suitable classes based on level and experience. This ensures that a brand new dancer with no experience is not placed with someone with years of training.We also keep our preschool classes small and often with two instructors so that the proper technique is more effectively demonstrated and learned by the student.
EXPERIENCE
April Fidler(nee Redl), Director of Image, has instructed in the Parkland area for 20 years. Having been a student at Muir Lake School, April was asked in 1990 to start teaching a dance program in the school. This began a lifelong journey of offering fun, quality instruction to the families in the Stony Plain area. Known to our dancers as Miss April, she offers training in the Adapt Jazz and Tap syllabi and has extensive experience working with children and adolescents. Miss April offers a fun yet educational class with an emphasis on technique and performance. Our ballet instructor, Miss Alysha, has been a part of our school for many years and passes on her love of dance to our students. Both Miss April and Miss Alysha provide high energy, quality programs which enable the dancer to learn while having fun! Miss Keara has attended our school since she was a toddler and has been assisting Miss April for years.
CONVENIENCE
It is our policy that our students and parents receive the best in customer service. This means offering a great experience for you and your child throughout the year. Our friendly staff and management will help to make your years at our school memorable.
BRAND NEW FACILITY
Our school recently opened in a brand new location and offers fresh paint, new flooring, air conditioning and a superior floating dance floor to reduce fatigue and injury when dancing.
Located conveniently by the Rotary Park and Tim Hortons, there is plenty of parking available with a cup of coffee and a nice walk close by. We offer an open door policy with French doors that lead into our studio. Blinds are left open throughout the year so parents are able to view their childrens' progress at all times.
NO HASSLE COSTUMES/ FESTIVALS
Costumes are ordered for all dancers to offer a more unified look. The cost ranges from $50 for preschoolers and $90 for senior dancers and is quite often supported by our fundraisers.
Dance students attend festivals (1-4 per year, depending on the age and level) but do not focus on this aspect of the dance world. We train for this event and our dancers always do very well, but our emphasis is more on the long term rewards of dance and having a great time at the recital. The cost per festival per dancer is usually around $30 dependant on the level of the class.
