Classes promote learning in a fun and creative environment that dancers of all ages, experience-levels, and abilities will enjoy!
Classes start either June 1st or September 1st and continue until May 30th.

Pre-Professional Program: Body Talk Dance Company
The Pre-Professional Program at JWSD Cross Park is a dance training program for students aged 7 and up. Established in 1985 in Windsor Park, Body Talk exposes dancers to the pre-professional world of dance with competitions, conventions, full-length productions, community performances and strong technical and performance training. The company formed on the belief that dance should be an accessible dream for all, not just the privileged few. Students thrive in an atmosphere dedicated to the success of each individual student.
This program is highly recommended for serious dancers ages 7-18. We find that the sooner a dancer joins the easier their progression will be. Come join us and let us take your dancing to the next level!
