deanne service
Born and raised in the Georgian Bay area Deanne, known as Dee to most, fell in love with performing at a young age. She began training in multiple styles of dance at the age of 4 and has since channeled her passion for dance into teaching and choreographing. Whether you are 2 or 92, dancing recreationally or competitively, Dee believes dance does wonders for your body, mentally and physically. The studio and stage is her home and teaching is when she is happiest. She hopes that by teaching with love, compassion and encouragement, she will help others find their passion and love for the movement and art of dance. She hopes it will help them in life as much as it has helped her. Along with teaching at Active Arts, Dee has also the choreographed for multiple Musical Theatre shows. Thus far, the productions she has contributed to are Cinderella, Oliver!, Peter Pan: The Panto, True Colours and Potter: The Panto, Narnia: The Panto and Sleeping Beauty: The Panto. She is excited to be paired up with the Town of Wasaga Beach for her next project. She will be choreographing their first youth-based-musical coming June 2022.
Alyssa service
Alyssa is a movement artist who loves to connect with others through motion and the arts. She began dancing at the age of three and has continued to weave her love of motion into her life. In the simple gestures of our everyday life and the larger than life performances we create, movement is a gift. She believes the body, the mind and the soul are all celebrated through dance and movement. She has spent the past four years expanding her teaching skills and focusing on a supportive, instructive, fun and creative environment for dancers of all ages. She continues to acquire technical knowledge of dance by working through her certifications. Currently she is working hard at the CREATE Institute to become an expressive arts therapist.
