From Mr. Ricky

Hello Everyone

March, April and May are busy months at 5678 Dance Studio! Everything from Competition to March Break to our end of the year Show!

 

I would like to take this opportunity to thank all of our clients for their patronage over the past year and we look forward to seeing you in our Summer program. Stay tuned for details about the exciting programs we will offer in July and August.

 

Sincerely

 

Ricky                   

 

TEACHER FEATURE

 

Lyz Tessier

Lyz began dancing at the age of three and quickly developed a love for performing.  She began her dance career studying ballet, jazz and tap with the British Association of Teacher’s of Dance, but has over the years branched out into other genres such as contemporary, Latin, hip hop, and swing.  Lyz spent most of her high school years in Kingston, performing with a touring theatre company where she stole the show with her singing, acting, and of course, dancing in shows such as Dirty Dancing the Musical and 42nd Street. 

Lyz then moved on to Trent University where she was a member of the Trent University Dance Team and starred in musicals such as Pirates of Penzance.  She really grew as a choreographer while working on numerous dance and modelling shows for charity organizations.  Lyz is really excited to be back with the 5678 family and hopes to bring some of her experience and talent to the studio and the competitive team this year.
