We want to keep you posted on all the dance-related events happening around Saskatoon this spring!
Saturday April 27
International Dance Day
This is an annual event that allows us to partake in a global celebration of dance. The day corresponds with the birthday of the creator of modern ballet, Jean-Georges Noverre (1727-1810). Not only is it acknowledged worldwide, but we also have many different cultural dance communities just in Saskatoon that come together to celebrate our shared love of dance!
There are TWO events happening that we want to post:
International Dance Day Community Showcase
2:30 pm at Dance Saskatchewan
**We have a dancer performing in this one!!**
