Hi - I'm Julia – the owner & artistic director of Express Yourself Performing Arts.
Do you find yourself wondering why your child just can't sit still in class? Why they are fidgety, not listening, zoning out at school, perhaps staring endlessly at their screens, etc.? This was my story, and if it had not been for the performing arts, I would not be in the position of successfully running local community businesses such as this for over 15 years and being a college and university graduate.
I believe that the world would be a happier place if we all took a little time to discover our artistic/creative side. As a child and teenager, I found my own balance and self-confidence in the performing arts. I believe that we should be able to have fun while learning all the skills that performing arts can teach such as collaborative teamwork, responsibility and great communication skills just to name a few. So, that is my goal – a fun environment while developing life skills through the arts. Along the way, we hope we will help bring out the “star” in you.
SING, ACT, DANCE!
Our programs/groups are based on fun! We believe in a positive environment where people can explore with their unlimited imaginations! Both children and adults are free to express themselves and are safe to do so in our welcoming and open environment.

The Eileen Lyons BursaryWe lost a precious member to our choirs, and a grandmother figure to our director, just as COVID was finally releasing its grip. Eileen's daughter Kelly, a current member of our Orillia group, and the family felt this loss immensely.
Her loving husband, Tom, and extended family, very generously have donated money towards a bursary that our Sing It group created in Eileen's honour. The recipient of this bursary writes a letter to the family and the director as to why they wish to be with the choir, and they are then all put together to make the impossible choice of who will receive this financial support. We miss you, dear one, and sing from our hearts knowing you are there in the part 3 section singing away with us. |
Located in the Simcoe County area, including Orillia, Midland and Barrie area, we offer classes in the performing arts. This includes drama (acting), music (vocal / singing) and dance. Putting all three forms of artistic expression together, our students (ages 4-16) experience the joy of musical theatre. Our program is open to kids of all experience and skill levels and our program is designed in a way that builds confidence for each individual student by creating a safe learning environment. Our students also develop excellent communication and team building skills, grow in self-esteem and enjoy the benefits of improved coordination and fitness levels. All of our students learn essential life skills that will stay with them throughout their life. Creative kids love our classes as we provide fun activities in the performing arts!
We offer summer camps which are an experience where lifelong friendships are formed, where learning about life and leadership skills are integral part of a fun musical theater camp experience. Campers experience a fun and exciting summer camp. Your child can fill their summer break with a fun musical theatre experience at our camps. We also provide choirs for both adults and children, which gives individuals opportunities to sing without the pressure of music-reading or auditions. We offer a casual women's choir which is fun if you love to sing.
