My daughter joined the studio few years ago and was very happy at CDC. The teachers at the studio are absolutely wonderful, not only the Lupien family, but Ms. Emily, Ms. Brian and all of recreational teachers. They all teach with passion and that’s what we love about this studio. You want your BIG money to be spend on good quality teaching. This year, however, something happened to Mr. Lupien’s attitude/ego. We had our “parents meeting” and I noticed that every question/concern that parents had (and there were only few), Mr. Lupien answered – “this is the best studio there is and you get the quality and a discount if you compare it to the recreational or other studios out there”. What does that mean? The rest of us said nothing, and I am ashamed of that. So this is my voice – treat everyone equally, whether they are full-time, part-time or recreational dancers. We deserve respect from you as well. I agree that CDC is very good, but only because of the amazing, hardworking kids you have and the parents with deep pockets (it is Oakville/Mississauga after all), that pay for you to have that success. It seems you are forgetting that you have to respect the parents and other studios, and for sure I don’t want my daughter to hear from the director – we are the best. I teach my kids to stay away from bullies. It is probably too late for us for this season to find another studio and my daughter loves her friends so much. However, we will be gone very soon, since we are not appreciated. BTW, I’m not the only one that is looking, but you don't care about that.

The Canadian Dance Company is much more than just a place for my children to dance. It is an extension of our family, a place where my children are cared for and cared about. The studio is a gathering place where my children, my husband and myself have formed many lasting friendships. A place, in which my kids have built confidence, learned the ability to perform under pressure and now have the determination and discipline to pursue goals that are not always easily obtainable - these are the lessons that my children have learned from you. I have watched them grow not only as dancers, but into caring individuals. The Lupien family and supporting staff at CDC always seems to find a way to bring out the very best in each dancer. Each and every one of the teachers at CDC brings something unique to the studio, and together creates a wonderful team for our children to learn from. We thank you for all your hard work and dedication.

Upon our arrival to CDC dance studio in September 2011 we had no idea of the experiences that lay ahead. We were completely overwhelmed by the genuine love and caring that went into every dance class, every competition and every event that we attended. This is truely a dance family that every dancer and parent can feel a part of. We could not as parents get over the incredible successes our daughter had in her first year of attending this studio, we saw changes not only in her dancing techniques but her ability to set goals and reach them throughout the course of the year. After a full year of competitions, recitals and outstanding awards presented to the studio along the way, we felt truly privileged to have gone along on this ride with the Canadian Dance Company, and we look forward to another amazing year ahead.

Our daughter started dancing recreationally at CDC 4 years ago and for the past year she has been in the full time Mini competitive company. Never did we think that in 4 short years she could become such a beautifully trained dancer! The recreational and competitive classes taught at CDC are top notch! Not only is CDC recognized as a top studio locally, but internationally as well! During our National competition in NYC 2012, it was re-affirmed to us just how well thought of our studio is by some of the top choreographers in the world. The level and skill of dance taught at CDC is phenomenal and the many awards the studio has won over the years confirm it. What a privilege it is to be a part of the CDC family!

Canadian Dance Company has a team of highly qualified and professional staff. The friendly atmosphere serves as a great environment for kids of all levels. There is something for everyone, with programs offered in all genres of dance for both recreation & competitive. I would highly recommend Canadian Dance Company ****CDC is the place to be****
