Oh hey it's us. We're thrilled to be part of this! Not only is it a wonderful cause, but we're presenting a brand new piece with dancers we've never been on stage with before!

It's mostly Rachel 's fault that Beautiful Unusual exists, and the amazingly supportive environment we have developed in the troupe, at classes, and events. I am forever grateful for her unwavering enthusiasm for things I'm afraid no one else will be excited about, her level-headed advice when I get a bit too uppity, and her ability to help everyone look good in a photo. You rock, girl. ❤️❤️❤️ Photo magic by Bree Lion

Katie is the powerhouse behind Killer Kitty Curiosities , backstage MacGyver, provider of information about literally everything, and possessor of a delightfully wicked sense of humour. And is ESPECIALLY gorgeous in blue, amiright?

Starts TOMORROW! (10-11am). Tricky drills, precise technique, and a whole lot of weird creative stuff that usually only happens in my brain. I'm SO EXCITED to start this class!
This is truly multilevel. In drills you'll get feedback and challenges appropriate to your level. The weird creative stuff is not technique specific - you can use whatever moves you like and are comfortable with.

... Save the date because Heather Labonté will be BACK in our lovely city this fall! We’re THRILLED to be hosting this dynamic dancer Sept. 13-15, 2019. Heather is an extraordinarily skilled instructor and dancer, pulling from her extensive experience with a variety of dance forms.

All the details will be announced very soon, but we wanted to give you the chance to put this in your calendar ASAP.
- About Heather Labonté Dance - Heather Labonté’s twenty-two year dance adventure spans belly dance, jazz funk, and contemporary, among others. Known for her compelling emotional command of audiences, extensive technical knowledge, and fondness for rule-breaking, Heather loves to make, teach, and perform dances that push the boundaries of what her dance is and can be.
She teaches regularly in Toronto, where she also performs as a soloist, with special appearances across North America and Europe, including Tribal Momentum (Montreal, QC), The Massive Spectacular (Las Vegas, US), Tribal Revolution (Chicago, US), and Infusion Emporium (Wolverhampton, UK), among others.
Currently, Heather studies at City Dance Corps and Underground Dance Centre, in addition to her travels for further dance education. She trained for nine years at The Dark Side Studio, under the artistic direction of Audra Simmons. She taught there for seven years, was a principal dancer with Lavish and co-choreographed more than a dozen company pieces as well as three full-length shows in that time. Previously, she studied and performed with Kittiwake Dance Theatre (2002-2004), and Judy Knee Dance Studio (1998-2002) in St. John’s, Newfoundland.
An avid collaborator, Heather works frequently with Canadian and international choreographers and performers to create new an innovative work. Recent projects have included co-choreographed work with Maddie Bolek, Inga Petermann, Cult of Yes, Jules Downum and Lacy Maselle
