October brings many things to be Grateful for and this year is no exception.
We have begun a monthly theme as a thread to bring our Pegasus community together, in our studio halls and for our faculty to string through their classes each month. September was about Kindness and Friendship (see the bulletin board, with our ‘seeds of kindness’ the dancers have written) as we focused on making new friends and the excitement to see friends from last year. Each of our teachers have been facilitating connection and setting up positive learning experiences with a sense of kindness and how we show it to ourselves and each other. October's theme is Gratitude and it is always a perfect time as we fully immerse ourselves into Autumn, Thanksgiving and being thankful that we are fully into our routines and rhythms that I hope are finding some comfort in your homes. Teaching our children and reminding ourselves to develop a habit of appreciation, gratitude and being aware of how we show it in our daily lives will be our focus this month. Why does Gratitude matter? In the words of Tracey Wonzy from the lessons we teach in STAR Leadership, ‘Having a grateful heart is being content with what you have. A person that is grateful for what they have will take care of the things they own, enjoy the moments they share with others and will waste less time seeking more things that they may not have. People that live a life of gratitude experiences fulfillment in the lives they are living and do not look outside for more’. We appreciate you and your family and are grateful that you chose our community to dance and find joy through the arts. With a grateful heart, Jane Artistic Director

Wonderful September!!
Welcome to our 37th Season! We feel blessed that we have been part of the Danforth East Toronto Community for the past 3 decades. We take such joy and pride in watching our youngest dancers grow up at Pegasus, go off into the world with skills that the arts have taught them. We have had the extreme pleasure to welcome alumni and their children back into our studio and know that we have made a difference, touched a life and that the arts and life skills we teach are being passed on to the next generation. There is always a new program, new opportunity and something new to try, but we are proud of the studio we have built with love, consistency, professionalism and confidence that our programming is age-appropriate and developmentally appropriate for all children. This year our theme is Giving Dreams Wings: Watch us Soar! Our focus is on building solid foundations to take off from and to encourage each dancer to reach higher heights. What better place to make mistakes, grow, gain self-esteem and confidence, surrounded by teachers that are encouraging and supportive. What more do we want for our children? Our aim for the last 37 years has never wavered: To provide an inclusive community that serves the community. Nurturing children to be their best selves. We aim to build our studio in a positive direction with priorities of happiness, health, and wellness. Our goals
