Wcsopa

Wcsopa WCSOPA teaches dance, music, and theatre at both the recreational and competitive level to students of all ages and abilities. Our year end recital is a BLAST!

Welcome to the West Carleton School of Performing Arts. We're not just another dance studio but a special place where our patrons - our family - regularly gather in celebration of their art. It's all about having fun as you develop and hone new skills while making new and special friends. Since 2001 we have been introducing music and the arts to any and all age groups and genders. We offer a wide

variety of quality programs. We're especially proud of our Competitive Dance Team who are very active and have many awards to their credit. There's something for everyone at the West Carleton School of Performing Arts. Mission Statement
Commitment to Excellence: At WCSOPA we are dedicated to developing talent in all students, at each level of training. We provide every student with a solid foundation of technique and help every student discover their own strengths and reach their full potential. Commitment to Inspire: We are all students of dance, and through this shared learning experience we strive to inspire our students and be inspired by our students. We are committed to experiencing, learning, teaching, creating, and developing an appreciation for dance. Facilities
The West Carleton School of Performing Arts facilities are in excess of 1600 square feet and includes two air conditioned studios with professional quality dance floors, mirrored walls and Ballet barres for our dancers. Parents and guests are provided with a spacious and comfortable waiting area with high speed Wi-Fi Internet access available for our "on the go" patrons.

Mallory has been a ray of sunshine in our studio since she was in her first tutu. Starting her soloist career off in hot pink, nervous, and performing in musical theatre, you could say a lot has changed since then-but even in her senior lyrical solo, the same smile and love of dance shines through. Throughout her time here Mallory has grown as an artist, friend and leader; she has transitioned from the little girl who was comforted, and inspired by senior dancers, to a senior who fills the role of a team leader. Mallory finishes off her senior year as an integral TA for multiple competitive routines as well as a volunteer co-choreographer herself. She has been a key part of this team and family since she joined us, and while she takes her steps forward into schooling at Algonquin we're excited to still have her in Ottawa to continue her role as a leader.

Elizabeth has been dancing with us since she was a toddler. From forgetting to wear jazz shoes on stage to becoming an absolute powerhouse, Elizabeth has taken each step with joy, grace and a good attitude. Her talent shines through in her brilliant strength and explosive jumps, but even more so in her groundedness both on and off the stage. Elizabeth is a great leader, demonstrating a positive attitude and perspective that has helped shape the culture of our team. This year she juggled being student co-president at school, work, co-choreography, and dance all while prioritizing keeping dance fun. Elizebeth has stepped up as an understudy at two competitions this year, supporting her team when needed most. As she moves forward in Concurrent Education we can't wait to watch her leadership skills blossom further and see what she does!

Grad Questions:
Did you have a favourite or specifically memorable costume?
Buddy (worlds greatest dad) is up there, most memorable would be Janet with the wig. Mamma Mia really stands out as well.

What is your favourite memory in the studio/ dance?
Breaking to Mamma Mia sign on stage
