Mira & Area dance classes, anyone? ✨⚔️ Check out what’s happening this fall with the Forrester School of Dance in our hometown.

✨ BIG NEWS FROM THE FORRESTER SCHOOL OF DANCE ✨

We’re growing… and we’re so excited to announce that The Forrester School of Dance will now be offering classes in TWO locations for the upcoming fall season! ⚔️✨

🏰 Our main studio location at The Forrester Center in Coxheath/Sydney River will continue to be home to so many of our programs, dancers, and special memories — and we can’t wait for another incredible season there.

🌿 AND… we’re thrilled to begin offering classes in the Mira & area as well! This second studio space will help us connect with families from our home town travelling the Louisbourg Highway corridor, including Albert Bridge, Marion Bridge, Mira, and surrounding communities.

Our new Mira location is designed to bring dance a little closer to home for many families while continuing the same welcoming, encouraging, and high-quality dance experience that The Forrester School of Dance is known for.

We are currently exploring interest for:
✨ Highland Dance
✨ Step Dance
✨ Recreational & performance opportunities
✨ Youth, teen, and adult programming

If you or someone you know may be interested in joining us in the area this fall, we’d love to hear from you!

📩 Send us an email to: [email protected] to express interest and help us shape our class offerings and schedule for the season ahead.

This is such an exciting new chapter for our dance family, and we are incredibly grateful for the continued support of BOTH communities as we grow together. 🖤
