The all-girl All-Star team can be booked by emailing popshopallstars@yahoo.ca with event details. Come and sing and dance and have a blast with the, often imitated but never duplicated, Pop Shop Performing Arts Academy! The Pop Shop is located in the West End of Ottawa. We are a small but mighty operation, selecting just 25 students a year to participate in our part-time or full-time programs.
