Time went by so fast, I can still remember when I was only 3 years old and was happy to learn how to dance. I also remember loving to visit different churches in the Christmas season, being excited about being on big stages and when I would cry in the wings during black-out… Thank God for all the mothers who helped with us in our Pre- Juniors years.
My 10+ years of dancing with the group has been a tremendous journey. I feel blessed and highly favoured to be apart of the Ycats family . It has made me in a beautiful, talented and confident young lady. I will continue to give service to humanity by using my ministry in dancing to bring healing, love and peace to others.
Thank you Aunty Stacy for the selfless sharing of your time, talent and treasure to all area of my life.

My daughter was first exposed to this group at the age of 3 years old when we went to watch her cousins who were performing in the annual show. I could not get her out of the theatre! She cried because she did not want to leave and wanted the show to continue. This confirmed for me that my daughter was a dancer! Hannah was dancing before she was born- she “danced” in my tummy all through a dance show at Little Theatre when I was about 7 months pregnant! YCATS has been such a blessing to her life and ours as parents. We have watched her blossom under Aunty Stacy’s tutelage from a rambunctious 3 year old into a mature almost 8 year old dancer. Dancing is at the core of all she does and has become a part of her identity. It has been my greatest joy as a parent to watch Aunty Stacy mould her and help to hone her God-given gift and talent of dance.

I love that this dance group is like a family! Its very nice and it feels like home away from home. When I dance I express me and when I am going through a rough patch, dance is my way to escape while minstering to persons. I love that being apart of Ycats helps me to grown into a better dancer and a better person.

Ycats offers a kind of fellowship that keeps today’s youth engaged and allows them to socialize in a wholesome environment. My daughter has been dancing with the group for eight years and no matter how difficult it gets at times, she always wants to be a part of it. This, I believe, speaks volumes, as teenagers tend to do what they find easiest. I also enjoy the opportunity to see many of the parents and girls that have become close to me over time, but due to daily life and varying schedules are unable to meet up otherwise. Ycats keeps my daughter grounded and has taught her to respect herself and others. She has learned that each person is different but those differences can be put together to create something beautiful! We have great love for our Artistic Director who knows what we all can do even when we doubt ourselves and knows how to inspire us to get it done well. Team work truly makes the dream work as is evident by the annual production which provides an opportunity for each to show how much they have improved over time. My young adult son helps out every year simply because he believes it worth it and for many it provides a different form of family time as well. The charity aspect is always a good reminder that everything the Lord blesses us with can be shared to help uplift others, even our time and talents.

A great medium for growth and empowerment. My daughter struggled with self esteem issues and since being apart of the team, I’ve watched her blossom steadily. Cudos to Auntie Stacy and her team leads for their hard work and dedication…..Continued blessings.

A family oriented dance troupe, where we all look out for each other. I love the fact that we give back to charity which is instilling kindness, sharing and caring among our children. I appreciate and applaud Auntie Stacy along with the Ycats team. God bless!
