Dance YYC Showcase 2022 Spotlight: Ballet Bodies YYC

Dance YYC Showcase Weekend!

This piece was first performed for the Ballet Bodies In Motion show in May 2022 and we feel lucky to be able to perform it again. It is a fun and daring piece we love to perform and share with an audience.

I was part of the Dance YYC showcase last year, and I loved how it brings the community together. Ballet Bodies YYC’s mission is to make ballet more inclusive and accessible for both dancers and audiences. I think the Dance YYC Showcase is the perfect event for that. It is an event that celebrates diversity and that brings different types of audiences. This piece allows the dancers to be silly and to just enjoy dancing without being too serious or pretentious. We look forward to being part of the Dance YYC community and showing that ballet can be many other things besides the traditional pink tutus and tiaras notion.

Something I wish I knew before pursuing a life in movement arts is the fact that dance is supposed to be fun, social, instinctual, and free. When you train professionally in any dance form, you can sometimes forget about this. Dance is life!
