<p>The Dance Zone</p>
<p>There’s more to dancing than just learning the steps, says Debbie Favot, owner of The Dance Zone in Vaughan. Since 1998, Debbie has taught thousands of young dancers the value of technique, the importance of performance and the benefits of style and creativity. Debbie’s programs are designed to help students develop a love for dance in such a way they dance from somewhere inside – dancing with the feet is one thing, dancing from the heart is another.</p>
<p>Dancing since she was 4 years old, Debbie has a passion to teach, a passion to win and a passion for students to achieve their best. By constantly trying to improve herself by attending workshops and working on her choreography every day, Debbie is focused on giving the kids the best possible instruction while ensuring they have fun. “Our philosophy is to encourage each child’s natural love of movement while providing essential dance education and proper,</p>
<p>safe technique training,” she says. “Everyone here is dedicated to facilitating individual artistic development by providing a nurturing environment, which inspires each dancer to their best effort and greatest accomplishments.” That passion and dedication has earned The Dance Zone, the 2009 and the 2010 Reader’s Choice Award as Best Dance Studio. “Treating people with honesty and respect and making the commitment to ensuring the kids are having fun in both the recreational and competitive programs are what we believe in,” says Debbie. “We treat all the students as if they were our own kids.”</p>
<p>Visit The Dance Zone at 539 Jevlan Drive, at Weston Road and Langstaff in Woodbridge (905-856-8877) or 8520 Jane Street at Langstaff (905-761-7887).</p>
