Our Dance and Fitness Philosophy
In 2013, due to the interest of our amazing clients, we introduced our own ballet and jazz programs to complement our acro program. In just two shorts years, we are now being recognized for our dance and have accomplished some amazing results. In 2015, 2016, 2017 and 2018 Body Lines was the top studio winner at Inspire Dance Competition. We were also asked to perform at the Bob Rumball School for the deaf in 2015 as well; an amazing and gratifying experience.
Body Lines offers classes in Acro, Ballet, Jazz, Lyrical, Hip-Hop, Musical Theater, Circus Arts and Acting. Our programs are open to all children ages 2.5 and up, whether they are at the beginner, intermediate, advanced or professional level. Our fitness offerings, on the other hand, complement your child’s dance program and are also available to adults. We are located in Markham and have an exciting program in store for you!
