Hello December!


Happy December, Dance Families! The season of sparkle and joy - two things we love for our superstars here at Maples Academy of Dance!

Wrapping up a great November, with the announcement of our Elite Team and holding two excellent fundraisers - Bothwell Cheese and Kernels Popcorn - we’re excited to dive into December!


Remember the last night of classes before the holiday break is Monday December 18, 2023. Classes will resume again in the New Year on Monday January 8, 2024.

On behalf of all the staff at Maples Academy of Dance, we wish you a merry Christmas, happy holiday, and an amazing New Year to come!

Amber Meadow Holiday Performance

Each year we’re honored to bring the joy of the holiday season to the residents of Amber Meadow, and this year we’ve selected the dancers in: Int Tap, Sr Tap, Jr A & B Ballet, Int B Ballet, Jr A & B Jazz, Int Jazz, Jr-Int Lyrical, and Pre-Jr to perform in this showcase. If you’ve not yet confirmed your attendance, please do so in the studio office by December 2, 2023.

The Performance details are as follow:

  • Sunday December 10, 2023 at Amber Meadow (320 Pipeline Rd)

  • Please arrive at 1:45pm for the 2pm show. Dancers should be done between 2:30pm-2:45pm.

  • Please wear: Any combo of black, white, and red with hair pulled back neatly in a ponytail. Dancers will be given a red bow for their hair when they arrive.

Support Ronald McDonald House

It's the season for sparkle and joy, but it is also the season for giving. Each year, our studio collects a hamper for the Ronald McDonald House. Over the years, this charity has directly helped many of our dance families and their extended family.


A donation bin is in the studio lobby and we thank everyone for their generosity this season. Every little bit helps.

Donations of non-perishable items and supplies will be collected up to December 18th and you can view RMHC's wish list here.

Bothwell Cheese Order Pick-up

Thank you to everyone who participated in the Bothwell Cheese Fundraiser. Orders will be in on Wednesday December 6th and can be picked up at the studio between 5pm-8pm. Please arrange for pick up that day as we do not have a refrigerator to store cheese in if it is not picked up.
