Dance Steps studio is celebrating its 35th Anniversary this year and I am very proud of our accomplishments! Over the years, we have had many dancers pass through our doors and I am thrilled to see that dance has continued to be a part of their lives in some capacity as they moved on.

It is now time for me to move on. It is after a great deal of thought and a heavy heart that I announce my retirement and the closing of Dance Steps studio as of May 31. I am so grateful to have had such wonderful support from amazing and talented teachers, including long standing teacher Krista Conti, that shared my passion for dance and teaching. I cherish their invaluable contributions over the years. We have had the good fortune to have such wonderful families at the studio, and consequently dancers that believed and supported our vision to make Dance Steps not only a place of dance but a place of support, friendship, and fun. Finally, I would like to deeply thank my immediate family for their loving support - in particular, my daughter Alicia, who is a former Dance Steps dancer and my husband Clive, who was involved in so many aspects of the dance studio over the years. I sincerely, could not have done it without them. Thank you all!
Dance Steps will be presenting their final year-end show called THIS IS US on Sunday May 12, at the Wolf Performance Hall. The shows are at 1:00pm and 4:00pm. We would love to see former dancers, teachers of Dance Steps.

I wish all the best to our dancers and teachers as they find new homes in the London dance community. Keep on dancing!!
Donna

To address anti-Black racism in ballet, education and ongoing collaborative conversations are imperative for systemic change. For projects like Assemblée Internationale 2023, both the lead-up and post-event work has centered on encouraging consistent discussions about examining our accountability in advancing equity, and challenging ourselves and others to create the change needed in the art form.

Discussion, learning and action are not limited to a single month—we hope you’ll join our learning journey and keep the conversation going year-round!

First, take a sneak peek at our Resource Centre, and what our students have been reading this month to acknowledge and celebrate Black History and Black Futures!

To deepen your learning, check out our list of resources and materials that encourage ongoing conversations about race literacy, explore the histories and contexts of systemic racism, and celebrate the accomplishments of Black artists. This robust list also includes resources from the incredible AI23 Learning Session speakers!
