🎉 BIG NEWS from Express Yourself Performing Arts! 🎉

We are so excited to share that TWO of our vocal students have been recommended to compete at the Ontario Music Festivals Association Provincial Finals this June! 🌟🎶

Being selected for Provincials is a tremendous accomplishment and reflects not only musical skill, but dedication, artistry, confidence, and heart. We are incredibly proud of these young performers and all the hard work they have put into their music this year.

At Express Yourself, we believe in nurturing creativity, healthy vocal development, storytelling, and confidence — and moments like this remind us why we love what we do. ❤️

Please join us in congratulating:
👏 Irelyn Vandenberg
👏 Evie Johnstone

We can’t wait to cheer them on as they represent our community at Provincials this June!

It’s that time of year!!! Have you signed your kiddo up for camps yet? We have a great camp that I’m proud to run every summer for children to come express themselves in their way, develop social skills, learn to be just a bit 🤪, and make new friends! They learn how to sing, dance, act, write a show, and put that show together to perform in 8 days. It’s incredible to watch unfold.

I am looking for someone who could build us 2 4x8 flats. And then build me framing with wheels for the other flats I have so I can use them for my students’ show, mid May. I know how to do it but lack the time or space to do it in. 4(wide) x 8 tall. Materials would, of course, be covered.
