LET’S DANCE
WORKSHOPS + EVENTS
Our diverse range of workshops caters to all levels, from beginners to seasoned professionals, fostering continuing education in the arts. Led by experienced instructors, each session whether it be pop-up single workshops or an 8-week series offers invaluable insights and techniques to elevate your practice. Committed to community outreach, The Fifth Dance actively collaborates with indepedent artists and specialist as well as organizations to make dance accessible to everyone. Our workshops not only refine your craft but also build connections within a supportive, creative community.
We're collaborating with our friends at the Toronto Dance Love-In to bring you Open Studio!
Open Studio facilitates a space to work on what you’re working on and attend to what is emergent in your practice. Gather, be social without an agenda, and be inspired by others around you! Come with nothing but yourself, as you are. Share, be bold, nap, rest, wiggle and shake in the company of others.
Ready to level up?
Ballet Lab with Sarahí was made for you. In a focused three-hour workshop, you'll work on the specific skills and details that turn an Absolute Beginner into a Beginner, and a Beginner into an Intermediate.
Unlike a regular drop-in class, Ballet Lab keeps class size small, so you get more personalized corrections and focused attention.
Drawing on years of teaching experience, studio director Sarahí has distilled the elements that take your dancing to the next level, and she's excited to share them in this new format.
This practice explores Queer, Trans, and Gender expansive embodiment through curiosity, creativity, and community. Rooted in Dreamwalker Dance’s Conscious Bodies Practice (Andrea Nann, Artistic Director), it invites participants into a shared space of connection and resilience.
Using movement, sound, writing, image-capturing, and relational activities, we foster agency, presence, and celebration. The approach is person- and community-centered, with a strong focus on collective exploration and co-creation.
Participants leave with a deeper sense of the dancing artist within, and a strengthened relationship to their body and community.
Classes for $10?!!
You got it! For one week and one week only, all of our drop-in classes will cost just $10+HST.
Why??
Because we want to see the studio filled with new and old dance lovers- your friend, coworker, mom or maybe it’s YOU who’s been dying to take a class and has been waiting for the right moment!

This series emphasizes repetition and thoughtful progression, allowing dancers to build strength, coordination, and confidence while developing a strong relationship to classical ballet technique.
Privates
Private sessions are often a great way to work on specific areas of your body, specific steps, techniques and progressions.
We offer a vast number of length options that go from 20 minutes (recommended for level assessments and Absolute Beginner Ballet dancers) to 120 minutes (recommended for rehearsals, audition/photoshoot prep and coaching in general).
You can choose to book a private session for anything and everything your heart desires including but not limited to intro to pointe, body placement, conditioning, PBT and yoga, 4Pointe, contemporary, choreography coaching (both as a performer and a choreographer) and show production amongst others.
