Testimonials

I really enjoy the Pilates and Dance classes. I’m a beginner and feel totally comfortable. Rachel is able to break down the steps and moves in a manner that I am able to keep up and enjoy
myself. Cadance offers a welcoming, relaxed, fun environment while providing a great opportunity for a fun work out. I highly recommend to anyone looking to get dancing and moving.

For anyone looking for quality beginner adult dance classes (which are hard to find), this is the place. Rachel is welcoming and a highly skilled instructor for all levels, shapes and sizes.

I had a wonderful time learning and performing with this dance school!

Cadance offers great dance classes for beginner or intermediate level dancers! The classes are friendly, sociable and encouraging! Rachel is a great teacher who takes her time with her students, yet still pushes them to reach there capabilities! I have learnt a lot from this class and continue to learn a lot each and every week! 5 stars! keep jazzin!

I find that Cadance offers quality jazz classes, focused on technique. Although the courses are rigorous, it’s a very pleasant environment. The music is great! I discover new artists every time. What I like most about the class is my teacher; she is very talented, passionate and lively. She tends to all of her students to make sure we improve, that we’re able to progress at a good rate with special attention to our weaknesses.

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.

Rarely have I felt more welcome in a dance class.  Rachel is an engaged and knowledgeable teacher and makes the class fun without compromising her teaching method.  The warm-up and technical work provide an amazing and balanced workout, and Rachel’s ability to create brilliant choreographies for all levels really made me feel like I was progressing as a dancer and helped me to build my confidence in my movements both in and out of dance class.
