Four Campbell River dancers will join an Island-wide dance group for a performance in Nanaimo this Saturday.
The students – Beatrix Bellosillo, Chloe Dugas, Gracie Lim, and McKayla Lawson – from Urban Dance Connection’s classical division are a part of Dancestreams Youth Dance Company which puts on an annual performance at Nanaimo’s Port Theatre.
This year’s show takes place on Saturday, Feb. 7 at 7:30 p.m.
Dancestreams Youth Dance Company was formed nearly 30 years ago to provide enriched training opportunities for teen dancers Island-wide. Talented dancers from a variety of communities and dance schools come together every Sunday from September to May, to work with professional choreographers and guest teachers from all over Canada.
The company strives to bring the dance community together by sponsoring a performance at Nanaimo’s Port Theatre every February. This year, a record 20 dance groups, from Victoria to Port McNeill, will grace the stage. The program includes everything from classical ballet to modern, jazz and hip hop to national dance and tap.
During the day, master classes are offered at an adjacent venue with outstanding guest teachers.
Tickets for this event are available from the Port Theatre Box Office, 250-754-8550 or online www.porttheatre.com
