PHILOSOPHYThe Ontario School of Ballet (OSB) was founded in 1979 by Executive Director Sarah Lockett, to provide high quality dance instruction for students of all ages, in an inspirational environment. The school is committed to nurturing students from recreational to pre-professional levels of dance, by developing skills through expert programming. Ms. Lockett’s 40 years of experience has guided thousands of young dancers from the basics to professional careers.

OSB is one of Canada’s leading dance training institutions. All classes are taught by expert accredited dance educators. Limited class sizes allows for individual attention and guidance. The school is committed to fostering the development of disciplined, self-confident students, who will grow from their training, whether their goal is to achieve a career in dance, or apply the knowledge they have gained to other professions.

Ballet Examinations are offered in the world-renowned Royal Academy of Dance (RAD) method. This prestigious association reaches 250,000 students in approximately 40 countries throughout the world, examining in 15 levels of ballet. Founded in 1920, this organization aims to develop and promote the knowledge, understanding and practice of dance internationally. Ontario School of Ballet believes this method provides our students with the finest training possible, while encouraging each child to develop physically and emotionally.

Jazz/Tap Examinations are offered in “ADAPT” (Associated Dance Arts for Professional Teachers). The nationally recognized ADAPT Syllabus was formed in 1979 by Brian Foley with the intent of providing Canadian students with strong technical training combined with artistic expression. The ADAPT Syllabus System is taught by over 150 Canadian Dance Studios from coast to coast. It encourages each and every student to work harder, in order to develop their own, best personal potential and to help them to maintain that potential throughout their dance training years. The syllabus instills self-confidence and determination in the dancer, while maintaining an enjoyable learning atmosphere.

Acro Examinations are offered in the “Acrobatic Arts” method. Dancers work through twelve exam levels, each designed to create a well balanced acrobat, including elements of flexibility, strength, balance, limbering and tumbling. Examiners evaluate dancers against a set universal standard, allowing dancers and teachers to see where the dancer stands globally.

Ontario School of Ballet faculty believes examinations are one of the best teaching tools. Look for ADAPT invitations in October, Royal Academy of Dance invitations in December, and Acrobatic Arts invitations in February.

TRILLIUM DANCE COMPANYThe Trillium Dance Company (TDC) is an intensive training program offered to provide dedicated students with the opportunity to further their technical skills for the purpose of entering provincial and national performance competitions.

Trillium Dance Company (TDC) choreography classes are additional courses, not an alternate to regular classes. For each Trillium Dance Company (TDC) level the prerequisite is mandatory attendance in the students’ appropriate grade.

The faculty invites students to join our Trillium Dance Company based on audition results. The audition for the Trillium Dance Company is the annual Summer Dance Intensive held in August each year.

ANNUAL RECITAL

Stage experience is an important component of dance training. Each year Ontario School of Ballet provides an amazing performance opportunity for all students. This full-length production creates a wonderful memory for our young students and their families.

Students perform choreographies created for them by our talented faculty, providing young artists with the opportunity to develop their dance personalities. This year our Annual Recital will be held during the weeks of June 11th–21st, 2020. Parents are advised that extra rehearsals will be held, free of charge, after classes end on Sunday, June 7th. Our annual ‘Recital Handbooks’ will be available in April 2020

The recital is NOT compulsory, however if a student registers to participate, attendance at all events is mandatory.

TICKETSTickets will be available online on Monday, May 11th and in-studio on Tuesday, May 19th. Four tickets per registered student will be reserved for purchase for the first week of online ticket sales only (May 11th-18th). Following this time, unclaimed reserved tickets will be released to general ticket sales.
