In NDG business news, a new ballet studio has opened here in NDG, with a brand of inclusivity and acceptance.
Ballet Hop NDG is the most recent location for the local Ballet Hop franchise, with 5 locations around Montreal. Ballet Hop NDG wants to cater specifically to the needs of the NDG community.
Ballet Hop seeks to create a positive environment for all types of people, working against negative associations with the art form like over-competitiveness and body-negativity.
Ballet Hop is just getting started in NDG, but it has been received well with attendance for some classes already using a waitlist. With multiple different classes, the age of adults attending classes range from 17 to 70. They are not separated by age or body type, dancers’ needs are accommodated on an individual basis within the group setting.
