Business Feature: The Annex Dance Academy

The Annex Dance Academy is a professional dance studio in the beautiful city of Oakville. Children build knowledge and skills through continuous and evolving processes of instruction. Our program for our youngest dancers is organized in this evolving form allowing for children to actively build new learning and understanding. We work at keeping class interesting by utilizing music, props and storytelling. We sing and dance songs that children already know and love while learning new songs to perform for one another. In addition to Dance technique, we work on social and emotional goals, such as the feeling of accomplishment and pride a young dancer gets when mastering new or challenging technique. We guide our young dancers with life skills such as waiting a turn in class or partnering in song and dance. The inclusion of these fundamental skills has a beneficial impact on the experience of our students both in the Dance studio and outside in everyday life. Above all, we aim to nurture and fulfill your young dancer’s development and joy in activity. We offer a wide range of classes for children. Please take a look around our website, where you will find information about our classes, summer camps, staff and location. At Annex Dance Academy we offer a clean, warm and comfortable facility for all of our clients. We have live cameras filming the classes for our parent to view in our comfortable waiting room as well as glass doors to be able to see the wonderful progress happening live in each studio.

People understand that massage promotes wellbeing in general but most are not aware it also works wonders on our pregnant moms as they require special attention during those very important months.

Our therapists are trained in maternity massage techniques to relax and relieve the aches and pains experienced by expectant mothers.

Following birth, common activities can put strain on your muscles and postural alignment. Our postpartum massages soothe over-used muscles and give you renewed strength and energy. For our ladies wishing to become pregnant, we specialize in pre conception massage. Different techniques are required pre and post ovulation; our pre natal certified therapists perform these specialized massages to enhance the probability of conceiving either naturally or by assisted fertilization.
