She has also worked for the Judith Marcuse Repertory Dance Company, the Randy Glynn Dance Project as well as many independent choreographers across Canada and the U.S. Wilson's passion for learning has enabled her to become proficient in three techniques; ballet, the Horton technique in modern and the Jack Cole technique of jazz. Wilson continues to teach and guide the next generation of dancers and creators. She is a company teacher for Ballet Jorgen, Randolph School for the Performing Arts, the School of Toronto Dance Theatre and the Ontario School of Ballet. She encourages students that she works with to push their physical limits, to embrace new experiences, to respect other people's views, to bring their own life experiences into their art and most of all to dare to fail in the pursuit of new ideas. For Wilson it is a mutual learning process. If asked today what she is working on, Wilson would say that she is looking for the perfect melding of technical proficiency (which drove her passion for dance) and drama (which gave her the most emotional satisfaction as a performer) and social statement (which guides her life). Her passion for discovery has and continues to draw accomplished artists in dance, theatre, art, design and music into her world of self growth, social consciousness and the selfless sharing of knowledge. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ca776d692441bf61d2e1a2b/1772736803363-QBQK2VR2FSTJCXANQAXQ/TINA52714-Edit-Edit--+Parisian+091+-+Tina+Fushell.jpg Workshops & Events - Summer Intensive 2026 - Tina Fushell Tina Fushell, a lover of art, dance, flowers, and laughter, was born and raised in St. John’s, Newfoundland, on the ancestral homelands of the Mi’kmaq and Beothuk peoples, and now lives and works in Tkaronto/Toronto.

Sofía is a 2021 graduate from Toronto Metropolitan University 's The Creative School BFA Dance Program. The TMU faculty chose them for the Lipson Family Endowment Award for an Emerging Choreographer. Their most recent work Ojalá..., in collaboration with María Riaño was showcased at CAMINOS 2023 by Aluna Theatre and The Citadel Dance Mix 2023 by The Citadel + Compagnie, co-produced with Fall for Dance North. They are currently re-working and re-presenting Ojalá… for Vanguardia Dance Festival in May 2025. As a performer, Sofía has worked with various artists/companies like Kelly Shaw, Justine Chambers, Kenny Pearl, Jera Wolfe, Bobbi Jene Smith, Or Schraiber, Kylie Thompson, Seanna Bailey, Zuri Skeete, Nina Li, Rose Harris, Proarte Danza, The Bentway, Aluna Theatre, Teatro Línea Sombra, and A Front Company. Additionally, Sofía has continued their commercial dance training, finding a passion for heels dancing. They trained with Kode Red Academy during their 2023-2024 season, a performance and dance training company run by choreographer Jac Valiquette. Versatility and diverse training is deeply important to Sofía, as it expands and challenges their mind and body as both performer and creator. Sofía deeply enjoys creating in her life; cooking at home for loved ones, writing, dancing, acting, singing, playing the piano. She values curiosity and continuously learning new skills and knowledge. In their works, Sofía questions and explores social constructs, and how they play on individual or interpersonal relationships. Writing is important in their dance explorations, whether as pre-choreographic inspiration or as part of the movement. Merging and embodying texts in dance composition aids them in both research and personal growth/healing process. She is constantly left with important reflections post-choreographic research. https://www.thefifthdance.com/workshops-2/beginnerballetseriesiiwithlaurenspring2025 monthly 0.5 2025-01-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ca776d692441bf61d2e1a2b/38a90a62-e5ee-4592-9568-6fdb43c4e3e4/DSC07861-2.jpg Workshops & Events - In-Studio | Beginner Ballet Series II with Lauren Janeway - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ca776d692441bf61d2e1a2b/289db54e-8647-4cc1-9224-efc2a6397d34/Lauren+%281%29.jpg Workshops & Events - In-Studio | Beginner Ballet Series II with Lauren Janeway - About Lauren Lauren Janeway is a graduate of Canada’s National Ballet School (2008-2015) and has danced professionally post graduation for 9 years.

She is a company teacher for Ballet Jorgen, Randolph School for the Performing Arts, the School of Toronto Dance Theatre and the Ontario School of Ballet. She encourages students that she works with to push their physical limits, to embrace new experiences, to respect other people's views, to bring their own life experiences into their art and most of all to dare to fail in the pursuit of new ideas. For Wilson it is a mutual learning process. If asked today what she is working on, Wilson would say that she is looking for the perfect melding of technical proficiency (which drove her passion for dance) and drama (which gave her the most emotional satisfaction as a performer) and social statement (which guides her life). Her passion for discovery has and continues to draw accomplished artists in dance, theatre, art, design and music into her world of self growth, social consciousness and the selfless sharing of knowledge. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ca776d692441bf61d2e1a2b/1741042783687-5JKTKXKJQ8G4B3UIOB8V/IMG_6477%2B-%2BKelly%2BShaw.jpg Workshops & Events - Summer Intensive 2025 - Kelly Shaw Kelly Shaw is a BFA honours graduate of Toronto Metropolitan University, and recipient of the University’s 2018 Jack McAllister award.

Yoga continues my lifelong study of the human body and spirit, combining the exploration of a physical challenge and supportive breathwork with the needed mental conditioning. My dance career began at the age of 12 as an apprentice with the Cincinnati Ballet Company, and within a few years, became a soloist and one of the company’s rehearsal assistants. Moving from the ballet world, I worked for The American Dance Machine (a Broadway archival company) touring the USA and Japan as the company’s dance captain. In 1980 I moved to Canada to become the rehearsal director/dancer of Les Ballets Jazz de Montréal, touring Canada, the USA, Europe, South America and Africa. I went on to work with Howard Richard & Dancers (Montreal), the Judith Marcuse Repertory Dance Company (Vancouver), the Randy Glynn Dance Project (Toronto), Ballet Jörgen (Toronto), as well as many independent choreographers across Canada. As a choreographer, I created a repertoire of critically acclaimed productions including Aphrodite Unveiled, Raphael is whispering, and Homo Office Sapiensis, which in 2002 received a Dora Mavor Moore nomination for Outstanding New Choreography. Through international collaborative works like Planetarium (with Macedonia) and Diary of an Exile (with Trinidad and Tobago) I introduced exceptional foreign artists in dance, music, and art to Toronto while representing Toronto and Canada on the world stage. In October 2005, I was honoured to be invited to present Planetarium at the United Nations' Assembly Hall in Geneva, Switzerland, as one of the events celebrating the 60th Anniversary of the United Nations. Since 2009, I have returned to two of my passions; mentoring female dance artists who have been developing their own unique choreographic voices (including Lua Shayenne, Roshanak Jaberi, Victoria Mata Soledad, Esie Mensah and Natasha Powell) and exploring ways to make alignment based techniques more accessible to a wider range of physical bodies. https://www.thefifthdance.com/workshops-2/beginnerballetseries monthly 0.5 2024-06-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ca776d692441bf61d2e1a2b/2ad74d86-ad43-4080-82eb-35aa011a11bd/DSC05441.jpg Workshops & Events - In-Studio | Beginner Ballet Series with Stefanie - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ca776d692441bf61d2e1a2b/e2b4cb06-c74c-4805-8719-964c60f710f6/RAW-2483.jpg Workshops & Events - In-Studio | Beginner Ballet Series with Stefanie - About Stefanie Stefanie is a ballet dancer and poet based in Toronto.

After discovering Contemporary Dance at age 21, the practice quickly became his path, lab, and teacher. He graduated from Tanzfabrik Berlin and later SEAD, Salzburg, and now works internationally as a freelance performer, teacher and musician. Group improvisation entered his life when studying with Jan Burkhardt in Berlin. The poetry of spontaneously emerging group coordination has remained one of his core interests. With his collective "peripheral vision", Rudi had the chance to thoroughly research and refine tools for Instant Composition, which among others led them to perform in the Finnish National Gallery. Influences range from improvised music and Zen Buddhism to intersectional feminism. https://www.thefifthdance.com/workshops-2/beginnerpointe monthly 0.5 2024-04-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ca776d692441bf61d2e1a2b/d029393b-d714-49a1-816d-0054f42035ab/Untitled+design.jpg Workshops & Events - In-Studio | Beginner Pointe with Stefanie - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ca776d692441bf61d2e1a2b/a64ed431-b419-4794-a7b3-627e60b16c31/RAW-2483.jpg Workshops & Events - In-Studio | Beginner Pointe with Stefanie - About Stefanie Stefanie is a ballet dancer and poet based in Toronto.

Candace is a graduate of the University of Toronto and is currently an instructor and principal dancer for Folklorico Filipino Canada, where she has been training for over 17 years. Candace has also expanded her learning to organizations abroad, such as Parangal Dance Company in San Francisco and the Tao Foundation for Culture and Arts in Manila. Her work embodies a diasporic approach, looking at traditional dance through the lens of self identity. Aside from Filipino dance, Candace has trained in contemporary, jazz, ballet, street styles, Latin, Indian, and Chinese dance. Candace has worked with Little Pear Garden Dance Company, Anandam Dance Theatre, Creativiva Entertainment, Nautanki Creations, HATAW, A La Una, Han Han and more. Her notable performances include the 2015 Pan Am and Parapan Am Games, Nuit Blanche, SummerWorks Festival, and international festivals in Los Angeles, San Francisco, Mexico, Alaska, and the Czech Republic. Her recent work includes "Crossing Waters," presented by Guelph Dance and the Citadel + Compagnie, "My Maria Clara," presented by Kapisanan at the AGO, and "Voyage," presented by the Mississauga Arts Council. She has been recently featured in Nova Bhattacharya's work "Svaha" and Emily Chueng's piece "Tales of China." Candace was recently awarded the Mississauga Arts Council Established Dance Artist Award of 2023 and the City of Mississauga Civic Recognition Award of 2023. Candace views dance as a community-based practice, with a commitment to placemaking and collaboration. In her future work, she hopes to continue developing the Filipino dance community in Canada and create unity between diverse Asian dance forms across the Can-Asian landscape. https://www.thefifthdance.com/workshops-2/findingthemiddlewithriontaylor monthly 0.5 2024-03-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ca776d692441bf61d2e1a2b/ed1a9c3d-4dea-4838-9b91-c673bf78e76f/rion+taylor+finding+the+middle.jpg Workshops & Events - In-Studio | Finding the middle with Rion Taylor - Make it stand out Photographer- Marimay Loubier @Marimayloubierphotographe https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ca776d692441bf61d2e1a2b/c87dee1f-47c6-41fd-8842-df2b8cd917c1/Headshot-+The+Fifth+Dance.+-+Ryan+Taylor.jpeg Workshops & Events - In-Studio | Finding the middle with Rion Taylor - Abour Rion Rion Taylor established his roots in dance through the hip-hop culture of Newcastle upon Tyne, England.

Yoga continues my lifelong study of the human body and spirit, combining the exploration of a physical challenge and supportive breathwork with the needed mental conditioning. My dance career began at the age of 12 as an apprentice with the Cincinnati Ballet Company, and within a few years, became a soloist and one of the company’s rehearsal assistants. Moving from the ballet world, I worked for The American Dance Machine (a Broadway archival company) touring the USA and Japan as the company’s dance captain. In 1980 I moved to Canada to become the rehearsal director/dancer of Les Ballets Jazz de Montréal, touring Canada, the USA, Europe, South America and Africa. I went on to work with Howard Richard & Dancers (Montreal), the Judith Marcuse Repertory Dance Company (Vancouver), the Randy Glynn Dance Project (Toronto), Ballet Jörgen (Toronto), as well as many independent choreographers across Canada. As a choreographer, I created a repertoire of critically acclaimed productions including Aphrodite Unveiled, Raphael is whispering, and Homo Office Sapiensis, which in 2002 received a Dora Mavor Moore nomination for Outstanding New Choreography. Through international collaborative works like Planetarium (with Macedonia) and Diary of an Exile (with Trinidad and Tobago) I introduced exceptional foreign artists in dance, music, and art to Toronto while representing Toronto and Canada on the world stage. In October 2005, I was honoured to be invited to present Planetarium at the United Nations' Assembly Hall in Geneva, Switzerland, as one of the events celebrating the 60th Anniversary of the United Nations. Since 2009, I have returned to two of my passions; mentoring female dance artists who have been developing their own unique choreographic voices (including Lua Shayenne, Roshanak Jaberi, Victoria Mata Soledad, Esie Mensah and Natasha Powell) and exploring ways to make alignment based techniques more accessible to a wider range of physical bodies. https://www.thefifthdance.com/workshops-2/thefifths4thanniversary monthly 0.5 2024-03-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ca776d692441bf61d2e1a2b/1682266097371-ZPCKOKJ71RWTU7MSFAD8/_studio+2_C.jpg Workshops & Events -

While at Dance Arts, she worked with artists Amanda Acorn, Tia Ashley Kushniruk, Peggy Baker, and Tilman O’Donnell who have all greatly influenced her current improvisational and choreographic processes.
