Welcome to the movement lab
A dance school for Leslieville's youngest movers and shakers
Parent & Tot - Creative Movement - Ballet 

Movement Lab classes are for little movers aged 18 months to 10 years. We are classically trained and progressively minded. In a welcoming environment, we teach gender neutral dance classes that encourage personal creativity, along side dance technique. We offer classes in Parent & Tot Dance, Creative Movement, and Ballet. All our dance classes take place on the second floor of The Circus Academy (Gerrard E. & Greenwood).

Parent Buzz:

"A special thank you for being such an integral part of daughter's life. She actually has a difficult time adapting to new environments but dance with your studio has been the easiest transition.  She can be in any class with any teacher at any time and she still loves it!!  That says a lot about the warmth that all your teachers and programming provides. So much gratitude to you for being such a nourishing role in our daughter's early development. Thank you, thank you, thank you." 

"We wanted to thank you for all the work that you have done with our son over the last three years.  We have seen how patient and understanding everyone at movement lab has been with all the kids and how responsive everyone has been when given our input. We believe that he has learned and benefited from his classes and we have found some new friends in the parents that we met.  The experience of taking classes with movement lab has been a great for all of us." 

"You truly are a wonderful teacher and have an amazing connection with kids. Being a dancer myself and knowing the industry to a good extent, I absolutely adore your approach to the parent-tot classes, with enough play but also enough concentration on building proper technique in early years of the little dancers! I haven't seen dance teachers in Toronto area (yet) who can keep kids attention and focus to the degree that you can! Thank you for that!" 

“I just want to let you know how wonderful the recital was.  It was so organized and you set such a great tone for the whole thing - nice and relaxed and a real celebration of the learning and moving the children have done with you and your wonderful assistants this year.  As a parent it really is a joy to get to see your child in such a light.  Thank-you." 

"Ann-Marie is amazing and patient, I don't know how you do it...so just keep doing more of the same!"

"Great job, we're thrilled with the movement lab!"
