Frequently Asked Questions

Do you allow children to try a class before joining?

At Pegasus Dance Studios, we believe in creating a joyful, welcoming space where every child feels safe to move, explore, and shine. Classes with available spots are listed on our Free Trial Class page, giving you and your child the perfect opportunity to step inside, try a class, and experience the fun, creativity, and community that make our studio feel like a second home.

Can I watch my child's class?

We love that parents are excited to watch their child dance and share in their progress. Our studios are fitted with viewing windows so you can peek in and see the magic happen. At times, these windows may be covered to help minimize distractions and keep dancers focused during class. Don’t worry—we also hold designated Parent Viewing Weeks throughout the year, giving you the chance to sit back, watch, and celebrate just how far your dancer has come.

Why is a uniform needed?

Dance uniforms help instill discipline and respect for the art of dance while ensuring students can move safely and comfortably. Proper attire allows teachers to clearly see alignment and muscle use, supporting strong technique, and matching tights and shoes create clean, continuous lines. Our uniforms often form the base of recital costumes, helping keep the under-layer simple for families. We aim to create a safe and inclusive space for all dancers, so please choose the uniform option that feels most comfortable for your child. We’re always happy to discuss how we can best support your dancer’s success.

Is there parking at Pegasus?

Pegasus is located in a residential neighbourhood and we want to be respectful to everyone. Families are asked to use permitted street parking on Glebeholme Boulevard and nearby streets, avoid blocking driveways or idling, and help keep traffic flowing smoothly during drop-off and pick-up times. Please be aware of the parking signs and regulations. If you are able to walk or take TTC, we encourage you to do so. Thank you for being courteous to our neighbours and community.

What are the top values of Pegasus Studios?

At Pegasus Studios, we nurture trust, respect, kindness, safety, and inclusivity, creating a space where every dancer can grow with confidence. We foster joy, creativity, and accountability, helping students develop technique, resilience, and a lifelong love of dance. More than training dancers, we provide life lessons and nurture future leaders, supporting them to thrive on whatever path they choose.

Why are sprung dance floors important?

At Pegasus Studios, your child’s safety and wellbeing come first. A proper dance floor gently absorbs impact, helping to protect growing bodies from unnecessary strain. Without this support, young dancers can be at risk of stress-related injuries over time. That’s why all four of our studios are fitted with proper dance floors, providing a safer, more comfortable space where dancers can move, grow, and thrive with confidence.

What are the staff's background and what extra certifications does your studio require of them?

The Pegasus teaching team is made up of experienced, passionate professionals from a wide range of dance backgrounds. Our staff are committed to ongoing education and hold additional certifications through organizations such as YPAD (Youth Protection Advocates in Dance) and High Five, ensuring the highest standards of child safety and wellbeing. All staff members also undergo regular background checks, as well as First Aid and CPR training, so families can feel confident knowing their dancers are learning in a safe, supportive, and professionally led environment.

What extra safety measures do you have in place?

We carefully select music, dancewear, costumes, and choreography suitable for each age group. This helps children move safely, develop proper technique, and perform with confidence. Choreography matches their physical and creative abilities, and pointe work is only introduced when a dancer’s body is ready, protecting growing muscles and joints. Thoughtful, age-appropriate choices create a positive, encouraging space where young dancers can learn, grow, and enjoy every step.

Tell me about programming at Pegasus.

At Pegasus Studios, our programs guide dancers from babies to graduates, using the Royal Academy of Dance (RAD) and Rambert syllabi to provide a structured, progressive approach. Classes are designed to be inclusive and barrier-free, ensuring every child can participate and develop technique, creativity, and confidence at their own pace. From early movement to advanced training, our curriculum supports a lifelong love of dance and prepares older students for higher study or professional opportunities.

Do you have a referral program?

We love welcoming new dancers through the recommendations of our families. When you refer a friend or family member who enrols, both you and the new student receive a tuition credit as a thank-you. It’s our way of saying thanks while helping grow our supportive studio community.

How is Childhood Expressions Preschool different than daycare?

At the Pegasus Childhood Expressions program, children enjoy barrier-free, child-led exploration through dance, music, and creative play. Unlike daycare, the program focuses on building confidence, coordination, and self-expression in a supportive and inclusive environment.

Why are there showcase ticket fees and what does that include?

Producing a showcase is a big undertaking, and ticket sales play an important role in bringing these special events to life. Funds from ticket sales help cover essential costs, such as theatre and venue hire, professional sound and lighting, stage set-up, music licensing, programs, and front-of-house staffing. They also support our dedicated teaching team, who spend a full year preparing for the showcase, fitting and ordering costumes, and giving their time at the theatre to ensure every performance is polished, safe, and enjoyable for both dancers and audiences.

Why are there costume fees and what does that include?

Costume fees help cover the creation, purchase, or rental of high-quality costumes for each performance. This includes the costume itself, any accessories, as well as necessary alterations and, for rented costumes, professional cleaning. Charging a fee ensures that every dancer has a complete, coordinated outfit, helping the performance look polished and professional while keeping things simple and stress-free for families. Costume fees also allow us to plan and order in advance, so every dancer feels comfortable, confident, and ready to shine on stage.

Do you have any adult classes?

Yes! We offer an adult ballet class. Silver Swans® ballet classes have been specifically designed for the adult dancer. Whatever your age, if you are looking for a new way to keep fit and active, our ballet classes will put a spring in your step. Whether you’ve never danced before or want to get back into the swing of it, our classes have something for everyone.

Do you offer birthday parties?

Yes, we do! Make your child’s birthday unforgettable with a dance party at Pegasus Dance Studios! Kids enjoy a fun, themed dance class and a party room for cake and gifts! Please see our birthday party page under Rentals for details.

Do you rent your studios?

Yes, we rent our studios by the hour for rehearsals, classes, or events, with fully equipped dance spaces. Please see our professional rental page for details.

TESTIMONIALS

Why our students love PDS:

"Pegasus has not only helped me create friendships and grow as a dancer, it also helped me grow so much as a person. It has taught me confidence, dedication, teamwork, and above all hard work. I am the person I am today because of Pegasus and I am forever grateful for all it has given me."

- Arabella, Student

"Awarding Pegasus Dance Studios anything less than five stars would be an understatement. From the moment you step through the studio doors, you are enveloped in an atmosphere of inclusion, creativity, passion, and genuine dedication to the art of dance.
What sets Pegasus apart is the sense of community it fosters. The camaraderie among students and the supportive atmosphere make every class feel like a celebration of self-expression. Pegasus is an inclusive and welcoming space for all."

- Catherine, Parent

"My child has been attending Pegasus for more than 10 years now and I am so pleased that this studio is part of our lives. I recommend it to all parents that I meet as it was recommended to me all those years ago."

- Lisa, Parent
