They do competitions like "Shine" etc, which we participate in Street Dance battles. We also offer Street Dance training and performance opportunities year round.

We teach you the fundementals and foundations of Hip Hop, House, Breaking & sometimes Waacking. We also teach you the dance moves from each era - 80's, 90's, & 2000's and also the cultural history behind it.

what if MY DAUGHTER doES NOT want to or cannot continue after a few weeks?
Full transparency, we cannot offer refunds. Life happens sometimes, but this is not just a fun thing we do, this is a very spesific group of youth we are investing in. Please ensure this is a good time for your daughter t
08
what do you do to help prevent injury?
We give shoe suggestions, do lots of workouts and conditioning, along with on-the-spot adjustments. But, you are overall responsible for your body and need to be mindful of your limits. We push, but you need to learn what feels like a push, and what feels dangerous.
09
what is different between north moovment training and a dance class?
We invest a lot of time in structuring our training towards pushing your limits, reaching mental, emotional and physical goals, building educated dancers, devoting 1:1 time for each student, providing in & out of studio mentorship and support, and providing the above-and-beyond approach to dance education. Our dance classes are 1 hour and you don't hear from us after that. Our dance classes don't have the physical push either. We are training in North Moovment, not just doing Zumba. Similarly, we provide tons of performance opportunities to our youth that is very rare for the Ottawa dance community.
10
how do i register my daughter?
We are not accepting "registrations", but rather "inquiries". Please contact us today to book a Zoom call with your and your daughter so we can chat further if we feel this is a good fit for them/us.
