Next Course: May 13-June 17 〰️
Upcoming Course: Beginner-Intermediate level Floorwork
Wednesdays, May 13-June 17
8-9:30pm
Location: Winchester Street Theatre aka Toronto Dance Foundation,
80 Winchester St, Toronto (Cabbagetown)
Additional Offering: Teaching Mentorship
(update - mentorship spots are sold out for this session)
After a successful inaugural program I am again offering two spots for teaching training/mentorship as part of this series!
This stream requires 5+ years of training in contemporary dance and an interest in teaching contemporary floorwork.
Students will complete the 6 week course and also have two one-on-one mentoring sessions with Kylie, around the 3 week mark and at the close of the course, in which they will discuss the course material from a pedagogical lens and receive guidance on how to pursue the avenue of teaching their own practice.
Please email kylie@kyliethompsondance.com and if we have not met before, introduce yourself and tell me about your previous training and why you want to be part of the mentorship.

**please note space is limited and priority will be given to folks who register for the full 6 weeks. Drop-ins may be available after the course begins.
HOW TO REGISTER: email me: kylie @kyliethompsondance.com with your preferred package. I’ll confirm and then you pay by e-transfer to the same email.

Weeks 1-3 will focus on beginner elements, and weeks 4-6 will have some intermediate level progression.
Every effort is made to maintain a consistent schedule, but substitute teachers may be present. If a class has to be cancelled it will be rescheduled.

What if I sign up but then book a job or something else comes up? Can I get a refund?
sorry, no refunds at this time - I am open to you using class credit for future events. Just ask me!
I’ve trained for a couple years in ballet/jazz. Can i attend this course?
Yes! I offer modifications and keep a friendly, easy going pace in the room. Remember to take breaks to observe and listen to your body.
I’m an absolute beginner dancer, can I attend?
I wouldn’t recommend this. However, perhaps your background in gymnastics, martial arts, yoga or other movement practices feels like a good foundation for you - it is ultimately your choice.
I missed a call due to illness or work. Can I do a makeup class?
It is a possibility, but it is your responsibility to contact me during another course to set up your makeup class.
Can I drop in for a class?
In certain instances I do allow dropins, but this is not the focus of the course. Drop-ins will solely be permitted at Kylie’s discretion - usually for folks who have trained with me in the past.
I want to sign up but I know I’ll miss a week. Is that allowed?
Yes, but the tuition fee remains the same. Simply let me know which weeks you’ll be absent.
