October 2023 Monthly Minute

10/3/2023

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 
  • Positive and engaging classes
  • Focus on connection, communication, joy, and resilience
  • Creating skills that will last a lifetime

Our Core Values
  1. TRUST - trust in the process with focus and consistency. Discover the small changes that happen over time, often without much notice. Trust and celebrate the journey.
  2. RESPECT - respect yourself, the opportunities and the people who surround you and help you along your journey. You must give respect to receive respect.
  3. KINDNESS - above all else choose kindness. Treat each other, your environment and the world around you with kindness.

Over the next few weeks you can expect;
  • Making new friends
  • Busy classrooms
  • Busy hallways
  • Getting dancewear from our store, swap box, studio parent facebook group
  • New entry and exit protocols. Senior dancers coming on their own enter and exit by the back door (shoes on the rack). Junior Dancers with parents, enter and exit by the front door. (Please take your shoes off and carry them with you into the studio - plastic tote bags a good idea for wet weather)
  • The Driveway is our neighbours, not ours. Please do not linger there standing or in your car.
  • Glebeholme Blvd Parking - Golden Rules (see website)


If you are new to the Pegasus Community, please come and introduce yourself to our front desk staff. They will be happy to give you a tour and show you all about our Studio.

We appreciate you and how busy your life is. We limit our communication and will send information by email. Please make sure you have an email address on file. If you unsubscribe, make sure you have all the information needed for your child to have a successful year. There is so much goodness to share with you!


Pegasus Dance Studios is a community for creative children discovering and developing confidence, connection, and joy through dance and the arts.  
We appreciate you and  thank you for joining us this season!

Pegasus Dance Studios - the place to find inspiration for dreams to take Flight!
Giving Dreams Wings, Watch us Soar!
