THE NRSTUDIO CREATES MOTION AND LIGHT!

The NRStudio offers classes that bring light, smiles and growth into the day. Thoughtfully tailored class plans, as well as a supportive community, encourage participants to incorporate movement, dance and arts, such as drawing and writing, into all facets of their lives. The NRStudio’s sky and ground studios support both small group pilates and dance classes, as well as private classes. Online classes offer flexibility for busy days.  Instudio classes deepen and renew personal practices.  The combination of the two creates a powerful tool for dancers looking to develop technique and artistry, the pilates client interested in practice and routine, and the creator interested in cultivating a process-based arts practice.  

The studio’s progressive artist-teacher method supports this approach.  This method draws inspiration from the professional arts world.  It presents comprehensive, artistic learning experiences that nurture the adult wanting to incorporate dance or therapeutic movement into their life, as well as the maker looking to enhance and foster a trans-disciplinary creative practice.  

The NRStudio offers:

  • Inspired, comprehensive and crafted adult professional classical ballet and contemporary classes that nurture the individual student’s dancing intentions, practice, wellness, and performance skills. 
  • Traditional Pilates classes, as well as Pilates-inspired classes, that ground, nurture and support the mind and body through balancing alignment exercises, as well as movement efficiency and breath work.
  • Private classes that support the individual studioer’s practice in pilates, dance and creativity.
  • Studio emails share the class schedule, community news, as well as support studioers’ moving and creative practice(s).

The studio’s community starts in class.  It reaches out to the studio’s Centretown neighborhood through the evolving window gallery, annual garden project and dance performances.

The studio looks forward to offering studioers a rich, bright and individually tailored class experience that brings smiling energy into 2026’s moving days.
