Most of my career I\u2019ve been all about music \u2013 writing it, performing it, recording it and teaching how to do it. I\u2019ve worked with famous people, should-be-famous people, and countless amazing musicians whose names you will never know, but who perform at the highest levels. I\u2019ve been a solo artist, the guy-behind-the-artist, songwriter, composer, producer, arranger, musical director, hired gun, session player, front-man, invisible background musician, critic, author, teacher, student. There have been many nominations for awards, a bunch received, good reviews, some bad ones, unforgettable moments and a few I\u2019d like to forget. And I\u2019ve been based out of three Canadian cities \u2013 Montr\u00e9al, Toronto and Edmonton.<\/p>\n

In Montr\u00e9al, I was a member of legendary retro-rockers Johnny Jetblack and the Comeback. We were discovered by music mogul (and future jailbird) Guy Cloutier, when he was having a pint with Guy Lafleur at a club by Dorval airport. The electricity went out, we sang some 50\u2019s tunes a cappella, and this led to recording 2 albums and touring the arenas of Qu\u00e9bec with the iconic Ren\u00e9 Simard.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n

Renelle has been singing since she was a child. Coming from a musical family, Renelle has been singing in numerous choirs and perfecting her vocal art through classical singing since childhood. As a teenager, she became interested in all styles of music, from rock to pop to hip hop. She then became a professional performer thanks to important competitions such as the Gala albertain de la chanson, the Chant'Ouest and Polyfonik. After these experiences, she launched her solo career. More recently, she presents her own songs as a singer-songwriter in true vocal and theatrical performances that tell the story of her life as a woman. A new audience recognizes itself in her musical universe.

Nous sommes l\u00e0 pour rassembler les gens, faire la f\u00eate sur des airs g\u00e9niaux et danser de beaux mouvements ! Nous voulons vous aider \u00e0 apprendre quelques nouveaux pas cool et \u00e0 d\u00e9couvrir de nouveaux styles de danse qui vous attirent. Mais surtout, nous sommes l\u00e0 pour que ce soit amusant !<\/p>\n

Vous constaterez que nos instructeurs sont exp\u00e9riment\u00e9s et fiables. Nous attachons une grande importance \u00e0 un environnement de danse favorable et s\u00fbr, \u00e0 des professeurs et un personnel attentifs, \u00e0 des musiciens et \u00e0 de la bonne musique. L’accueil des d\u00e9butants et l’inclusion font partie int\u00e9grante de ce que nous sommes, et donc la socialisation et l’appartenance \u00e0 une communaut\u00e9 sont vraiment importantes pour nous aussi. Venez nous rejoindre !<\/p>\n

Ce que nous faisons
\nNous offrons une vari\u00e9t\u00e9 de cours, notamment House, Jazz, Tap et Swing. Nous sommes plus connus pour le Swing et les claquettes, et nos cours de niveau 1 sont tr\u00e8s populaires. En g\u00e9n\u00e9ral, nous suivons la lign\u00e9e des danses de style jazz (claquettes et swing), puis africaine, et enfin des styles urbains comme le house. Nous honorons les origines de chaque forme de danse que nous ma\u00eetrisons. Nous exprimons notre gratitude et notre respect aux nombreux pionniers noirs am\u00e9ricains qui ont d\u00e9velopp\u00e9 ces danses, dont nous avons fait venir plusieurs \u00e0 Edmonton pour travailler avec eux !<\/p>\n

Nous organisons \u00e9galement des soir\u00e9es hebdomadaires de danse swing. Nos danseurs du Mad Cat Swing enseignent et se produisent dans toute la ville. L’espace que nous louons peut \u00e9galement \u00eatre lou\u00e9, car il convient parfaitement aux mariages, aux f\u00eates et aux \u00e9v\u00e9nements sp\u00e9ciaux.<\/p>\n
