WHAT WE BELIEVE & DESIRE TO ACHIEVE We believe dance is for everyone, and ALL abilities. We strive to provide integrative dance education and performance opportunities everwhere we serve. We do this by challenging sterotypes, and removing barriers through innovative, caring, dance education and performance arts opportunities. We desire to see every body, and voice on stage with unapologetic disregard for traditional stereotypes in dance. We do this through in and out of house... training we provide to our DDSP Educators and through collaborative partnership with arts, cultural, and recreational organisations across Manitoba. "Contemporary integrated dance is where artists of diverse minds and bodies create new dance and performance, drawing on various established techniques within the improvisation, theatre and contemporary dance genres. Deaf and Disability is understood as a difference in human experience rather than a limitation or something to overcome. Our goal is to create meaningful art that broadens acceptance of diversity in its many forms. https://forms.gle/hdex3wEgYuuoixdL8.dancers of all abilities working together. HELP US REACH MORE PPL!
