Winnipeg 
Events Description
Created by Canada’s National Ballet School in partnership with the Royal Winnipeg Ballet School and Physical and Health Education Canada, Sharing Dance is a community initiative that makes dance accessible to all people. The program aims to encourage Canadians of all ages and abilities to engage artistically, and reap the physical, social, emotional, and cultural benefits that dance provides.
There are many ways to get involved with Sharing Dance, and they all lead to Sharing Dance Day – the biggest dance party this country has ever seen! Sharing Dance Day is 100% FREE and includes performances, workshops, and other fun activities for the whole family. Everyone is invited to Sharing Dance Day on the morning on Friday, May 29, 2020 at the Axworthy Health and RecPlex (350 Spence Street, Winnipeg, MB).
The 2020 signature Sharing Dance routine will be released in February 2020. RWB School Professional Division Alumni Jera Wolfe created a Contemporary choreography piece based on the theme “Overcoming Adversity”
FREE OPEN CLASSES – KIDS AGES 8-12
Every Saturday from February 1 – May 23, 2020, the RWB welcomes kids ages 8-12 for FREE weekly classes from 2:30-3:30 pm at the RWB on 380 Graham Avenue. There is no advanced registration, and kids are encouraged to attend weekly, but not required. Kids and families may choose to participate in Sharing Dance Day, but why miss the country’s biggest dance party when everyone is invited? Contact the RWB School Office at 204-957-3467 or school@rwb.org for more information.
LEARN THE CHOREOGRAPHY ONLINE – ALL AGES
Everyone is invited to learn the choreography online. Tutorials are available any day of the week, any time of day and can be access individually, together with a group of friends or as a family activity. As a fully accessible program, there is a version to follow for those who need to remain seated. Winnipeg is one of the coldest places in the world and this is one way to keep moving and have fun indoors all winter long! When the frost thaws in May everyone is encouraged to attend Sharing Dance Day and participate in the country’s biggest dance party!
