PHYSICAL STUDIO CLOSED FOR GROUP CLASSES
We at Cadance and Universal Dance Studio had worked so hard to bring back our in-studio classes in the safest and most secure way possible. We all followed the rules about distancing, wearing masks, and washing our hands. And yet, here we are, enduring the extension of another closure of the studio.

With Montreal’s red zone designation, I am not allowed to teach group classes. I was so happy that, after three weeks of teaching at the studio in September, I was finally getting into the groove of teaching the hybrid classes and that you were all along for that ride. Thank you for sticking with me!

VIRTUAL CLASSES
Registration for virtual classes (via Google Meet) remains the same on the website. I hope you’ll join me online – let’s keep the momentum we’ve started to build up and keep moving!

I hope to see you again in person whenever the Quebec government gives us the green light. I will be keeping my fingers crossed!

testimonials

My name is Susan Powell. I am the Artistic Director of ECOLE DE DANSE POWELL SCHOOL OF DANCE Inc. I am a classically trained dancer, teacher, and choreographer. With my husband and partner, Anthony Powell, I am a professional ballroom dancer and former Canadian competitor.

ECOLE DE DANSE POWELL SCHOOL OF DANCE INC. of Cornwall, Ontario, Canada, is a multi-disciplined dance school. My three daughters, who are all professionally trained dancers, are teachers in the school. Lindsay, Hilary and Ainsley Powell have trained with Rachel Santos in jazz ballet since 2008. She has also choreographed for them for our year-end production.

Rachel is a highly-qualified and accomplished dance professional. To say her work is creative and inspirational is an understatement. Each of her choreographies shines like a well-cut gem. As a dancer, she is high-skilled with exceptional technique. Rachel is a very soft-spoken and caring teacher. Her students admire and respect her. She is very dedicated and hard-working and devoted to her students and to the art of dance. On a personal level, she has also become a friend and a mentor. I would strongly recommend Rachel Santos and Cadance to student dancers wishing to pursue their expertise in jazz ballet.
