2021/22 Registration Dance Package

Hello and welcome to a new season of dance at Allegro!

We hope you are all doing well and staying healthy. Like you, we’re excited to get back to routine and very eager to dance again. You are all greatly missed; what’s normally a hustling and bustling studio with so much life has never felt so lonely. On the bright side, it’s comforting to know that we have made it through the hard part; once we’re back, every day dancing will be a gift!

When browsing through the registration info, please be aware that our planning is based solely on speculation. The true makeup of our year will depend on guidelines put in place by public health. Changes are inevitable as vaccinations continue to ramp up and new rules are put in place.

If you have any questions pertaining to next year or would like to enroll for the upcoming season, please visit the links below or call the studio for more assistance – (905)815-9239.

From all of us at Allegro, thank you and we look forward to dancing with you soon!
