Our charitable sector, Culture Shock Canada Charity, addresses social isolation and self-esteem through structured urban dance-based education and enrichment programs for youth.

Three of our dance teams will be performing a collaborative piece as Culture Shock Canada.
How has the pandemic shifted your work as a professional dance artist?
We are in a stage of re-building our dance teams and our community outreach programs. Dance has been a place for our dancers to stay connected during the pandemic.

In 1 or 2 sentences, what does dance mean to you?
Dance to us means “family” and “connection”. It is a means of expression and reaching out to others in our community, locally and internationally.
