Dancing through Time

I danced at Pegasus Dance Studios for more than ten years.

I tried ballet for a few years but the rule-oriented form of dance wasn't for me.

I took tap classes and loved them.
Alana Hock taught these classes. Alana opened her own studio in Ottawa, Dance With Alana, which I hear is very successful. She was the reason I went to class, and when she left Pegasus, I left tap.

The one class I stuck with for the most time was modern dance.
Modern dance is a much more relaxed style of dance. It does not require shoes or specific clothing. Mainly, it focuses on the interpretation and expression of feelings through movement.

Janice Pomer (author of Perpetual Motion) was my dance teacher for many years. I love Janice. Dancing in her class made me feel so much more comfortable with and confident about myself.

Pegasus is open and welcoming. They do not focus on the competitive aspect of dance and that makes dancing much more satisfying.
Also, pilates classes with Briar Munro are great. They're so great actually that you forget how much work you're doing and you feel great afterwards.
