“George Brown Dance allowed
me to accomplish my dream
of becoming a professional
dancer. I received the
encouragement and guidance
I needed to hone my
performance and ballet
technique. This training has
made it possible for me to
dance at a professional level
with Ballet Jörgen for
almost 8 years.”
– Heather Lumsden-Ruegg,
George Brown Dance 2011 Graduate &
Dancer with Canada’s Ballet Jörgen
Celebrating
25 years with
George Brown
College.
This past season we celebrated our unique
partnership with one of Canada’s largest and
most innovative post-secondary institutions,
George Brown College, with over 33,000
full and part-time students and over 68,000
continuing education registrations. Since
1992 we have worked together to develop
a critical training ground for the dance
community. Each year, this partnership
graduates some 50 dance artists who can
be found in every part of Canada’s diverse
dance milieu, internationally and including
several who are now members of Canada’s
Ballet Jörgen.
“Amazing mentors and inspirations to
future dancers at every moment."
