Our facility (located at 348 Bronte St South) boasts two large dance studios. Each studio is fully equipped with Rosco marley flooring ensuring safety for all dancers. Each studio has a separate waiting room which has television screens for parents to watch the dancers class (Covid-19 restrictions in place). We have always kept our classes small to ensure that your dancer is becoming a member of our dance family, and not just a number in our classes. Our acro classes use highly rated props and mats ensuring safety for our littlest dancers through to our oldest. In each studio, we have mounted ballet barres on the wall, as well as individual ballet barres to ensure students safety during Covid-19. All of our equipment is sanitized between classes. Our location provides large parking lot ensuring that you always have a safe space to drop-off and pick up your dancer.

Our Team

Rebecca Hewlett
Creative Director-Instructor

Rebecca has been dancing since the age of 4, and has extensively trained in many disciplines including Jazz, Tap, Lyrical, Acro, Musical Theatre and Ballet. Her early dance career had her competing at a high level for many years across North America. Rebecca spent many of her summers training at different workshops and intensives with many well known teachers from the Canadian dance scene.

At an early age, Rebecca realized that her passion lied with teaching and she quickly made the switch from performing on stage, to being in the studio getting students ready to perform on stage themselves. She has been teaching for over 15 years and has helped students grow in many dance disciplines. Her students have won potential and overall awards and she has won awards for choreography and costuming. Rebecca is certified with Acrobatic Arts (AA2) as well as with Alixa Flexibility. 

Rebecca has been teaching at Dance Etc Milton since its inception, and is delighted to take on a new role as of October 2020 as Owner and Artistic Director. She is excited to watch the studio continue to grow and watch students pursue excellence in the arts and following their passion.
