Last week was our final camp of the summer! We had a great time with our Recreational Camp Week 2 campers and have overall had a fantastic summer of camps!

Thank you to everyone who joined us for Recreational Camp 2 and over the summer! We had fun and hope you did too! Summer in the studio is the best. Camps are great for learning new skills, making new friends, and creating memories! We love camps! ☀️

We look forward to seeing many of our camp students back again for regular season classes in just a few weeks! For those who may not be in a fall class, we hope to see you again next summer! 💛

Highlights from Intensive Camp Week 2! ☀️🧑🏻‍🩰

Thank you to all the dancers and teachers who joined us for the week! This week was geared towards experienced dancers and our teachers did not hold back! We pushed the dancers this week and they rose to the challenge and worked so hard! 🔥

We did classes in ballet, jazz, lyrical, contemporary, tap, hip hop, acro, aerial silks, aerial hoop, flexibility, PBT, and got to do some mental skills training with a sport psychology expert! It was a fantastic week with a great group of dancers. Awesome work, everyone! 👏🏻

Dance with us this fall! 🌟 Spaces are filling up so don't wait to register! Classes for ages 3 & up!

At Bend Academy we have dance, acrobatic, and aerial classes led by exceptional teachers in a fun and encouraging environment. With recreational and competitive options for preschoolers to teens, there's something for everyone!

What a week we've had! Thank you to everyone who has sent kind messages and well wishes since we announced our move! ❤️

We've had a really busy week between planning and starting work at the new space and having our Pop Divas themed Dance & Theatre camp running with Meraki Theatre at the studio!

Thank you, campers for joining us this week! We hope you had fun finding your inner pop divas! 🌟🎤🪩

We are so excited to announce we'll be moving to 3 ST. VITAL RD! 🎉

This move is the beginning of a new chapter for Bend Academy! There is so much to look forward to in moving into this new space and the St. Vital community. Get ready for a bigger and better Bend!

3 St. Vital Rd. was previously the home of St. Mary Magdalene Church. I want to send a huge thank you to the church members/wardens, Brian, Carey, and Cathy for everything they did in helping with the sale of the building. I am so grateful to have such a wonderful place for Bend Academy to call our own. I know our studio community will appreciate this space and make so many memories there.

As mentioned in our initial announcement post about moving, we don't have an exact timeline yet for when we'll be in the new space. There are renovations to do at the new building. We're going to try and get everything done as quickly as possible and hope to move early in the 2026-2027 dance season. I will keep you all in the loop as things progress! Operations will continue running as normal at our current space at 5-2 Donald St. for the time being.

Now, please help spread the word! 🗣️ Tell all your friends that Bend Academy is coming to St. Vital and they should all register for our upcoming season! Classes start September 14! 

Thank you to everyone who has already expressed their excitement and support for us in this move! We are pumped for this next adventure!

We have some huge news to share...

Bend Academy is going to be moving! 🎉 

As we head into our 5th season, we’ve reached a point where we’re outgrowing our current home. It took a lot of searching to find the perfect spot, but we finally did it!

Our exact move date isn't set yet as the new space requires some renovations. The goal is to move during this upcoming season - the earlier the better but we don't have an exact timeline yet. Operations will continue normally in our current location until the new space is ready. We’ll keep you updated as things progress.

Our new space means more room, better parking, the ability to expand our programs and offerings, and provide an even better facility for our dancers and studio families. None of this would be possible without your support over the last five years so thank you!

🔍 Let’s make this fun! GUESS THE NEW LOCATION! 🕵🏻‍♀️ Instead of just giving away the address, we’re turning it into a contest!

1. Make sure you're following us! Bend Academy - Winnipeg Dance, Acro, & Aerial Studio Over the next few days, we’ll be releasing clues.

2. Think you know where we're going? DM us your guess!

3. If you’re right, you’ll be entered to win a $500 studio credit to help us celebrate our 5th anniversary! 🎉

We will officially announce the new address on August 6th (one week from today). Keep an eye on our page, and good luck guessing!

Thanks for your continued support & happy guessing!
