Thank you to all of our students who participated in Pink Shirt Week!

It is so wonderful to see your LTD Spirit and eagerness to support an important cause and one that is a central part of the LT Dance Studio Motto.

Together we can END BULLYING!

Our performance students participated in their first event of the season last week at the Cowichan Music Festival!

They brought some remarkable skill and dance spirit to the stage. We are so proud of each of them. Thank you to those students and families who came out to watch and support them.

Our Junior Hip Hop C students have been invited to perform their “Shell Shocked” routine at the Highlights Concert happening this Monday March 6th at 6:30pm at the Cowichan Performing Arts Centre. We invite you to come and enjoy the show! There will be admission at the door.

We are looking forward to their next performance at the end of the month!

LT Dance Studio is committed to welcoming and encouraging all dancers.

In February, we reflected on and recognized Black History.

We are here to promote healthy relationships, encourage creative expression, and create an uplifting dance environment for all!

Pink Shirt Day is an initiative to end bullying. From February 21st to February 25th we will be having empowering conversations with our students about the topic.

We will be participating in Pink Shirt Day and invite all of our students to wear pink shirts to their classes throughout this week!

Through our exclusive LTD pink shirt sales, we raised $53.37 for the CKNW Kids’ Fund to support anti-bullying organizations.

If you’d like to learn more about Pink Shirt Day and where the funds have been donated, you can visit their website by following this link.

We are heading into an exciting time of season at LT Dance Studio, as our performance students bring their routines to the stage!

We invite you to come support your dance friends and check out the Cowichan Music Festival this week.

The event includes many styles of dance and is a great way to support local art in your community. It is also an excellent opportunity for our aspiring performance dancers to attend and get a taste of what they can be a part of.

Performances will run from Tuesday February 21st until Sunday February 26th, 2023.

We hope to see you there!

We would like to offer a huge congratulations to these two dedicated dancers who recently completed the Pre-Pointe Curriculum offered at our studio.

They are officially En Pointe!

Going En Pointe is an exciting and rewarding time for a dancer. It requires hard work, dedication and a devotion for dance. The art of Pointe opens exciting doors for dancers to explore their passion.

We are so proud of you both and honoured to be a part of the coming journey with you!
