Kaha:wi Dance Theatre

Under the category of “New and Exciting!”…

Santee Smith, the Artistic Director and Choreographer of Kaha:wi Dance Theatre is going to offer a company class every Sunday @ the National Ballet School studios.  Unfortunately this class is for experienced dancers only… Santee has taught workshops and masterclasses around the world…her full bio is here.

All experienced dancers in Toronto who have danced with or are curious about the kind of fusion choreography being created by Santee (or just want to take a FREE class) are invited to join Santee this Sunday March 7th for our inaugural class (see my jpeg flyer above).  Yes, that’s right – this class is 100% free and will continue to be free for our core dancers.

For the rest of you interested public, the price for the class will be $10 beginning in April & $5 for the rest of March outside of this Sunday.  It’s drop in – cash only.   Hope to see you there!

Just a quick update for you now that we are back in the office post-performing arts conference.  I will post some photos of our recent trip to Pittsburgh and performance at Hartwick College in Oneonta, NY.   At IPAY, Santee and I had an amazing time meeting presenters and artists from all over the world.   I saw a lot of interesting youth theatre/dance – a pretty piece by a dance company that makes work exclusively for youth audiences, Destilte from Holland; an intriguing show using paper called “Kraft” by a Spanish company; Frankenstein as interpreted by a clowning/theatre group, 500 Clown from Chicago (which shocked most of the audience); a bromance called “Boats” by Terrapin Puppet Theatre from Australia.   Pittsburgh is actually a pretty nice city with lots of old buildings, and I don’t think I would have ever visited if not for this conference.
