Dance YYC Showcase 2022 Spotlight: VibeTribe YYC

Dance YYC Showcase Weekend!

What was your inspiration or starting point for the piece you’ll be presenting at the Dance YYC showcase?

The inspiration for this piece originally came from the track “Elastic” itself. The song presented a new set of engaging and exciting sounds which we knew would afford our crew a new challenge in terms of their existing repertoire.
Knowing that this needed to be a longer piece than we were used to, we felt compelled to use the opportunity to mash up a few tracks from an artist that may be unfamiliar to our audience, leaving them with a feel-good, party vibe.

Share a moment that stands out from your rehearsal/creative process.

Throughout the rehearsal and creative process, our crew has evolved into a far
more cohesive unit. The unification of our crew mindset with respect to the
understanding of the intention behind our movements and growth in our ability
to communicate with each other and with our choreographer has been a true
stand out for all of us.

Why are you looking forward to the 2022 Dance YYC showcase?

We all know how starved performers and avid audience members have been throughout the last 2 and a half years, but it is so much more than that for these dancers. Having aged-out of studio life and therefore regular performance opportunities, all of these dancers had been searching for creative outlets in their collective passion for dance. VibeTribeYYC is making its own lane in the Calgary arts scene and after training together for less than a year, this crew is so excited to show live audiences exactly what they’re capable of.
