Once Upon A Fairy Tale: Dances That Live In Your Imagination Ballet

I was surprised to learn that Vancouver has been home to the one most decorated and diverse dance institute’s in the country since the late 1970′s, Goh Ballet Academy. Established by National Ballet of China’s Choo Chiat and Lin Yee Goh, the academy was created to pursue technical and artistic excellence – both customary traits of ballet dance. What makes Goh Ballet unique is their dedication to raising cultural awareness in the dance community and around Vancouver. This June, Goh Ballet’s Junior School will perform the family friendly production, Once Upon a Fairy Tale: Dances that Live in Your Imagination, which includes little Miss Muffet, Jack and Jill and other nursery rhyme favourites.

But it was really when she got back into photography that she got her the idea to start Rhembein, a line of bright, fun and functional camera straps.

Easy Daysies: Family Routines Made Easy – and Fun!

Easy Daysies was created by teacher and mom Elaine Comeau. As a classroom teacher, Elaine would always have a visual daily schedule up in front of her classroom showing the children the shape of the day. “No matter what age my students were we would go over the daily schedule together as a class each morning and they loved it!” Elaine adds that the schedule made her students “feel safe, confident, and in control of their day.”
