Popular JigFit and Powwow Impact workshops return
After a great response to the workshops held earlier this year, Madelaine McCallum, a dancer originally from le–la-Crosse, Sask., will now be hosting another six weeks of free JigFit and Powwow Impact classes.
The Cree/Mtis artist, dancer and choreographer, is hosting the virtual, all-ages workshops where she will share her passion and knowledge of dance and culture.
In the Jig Fit workshops you will learn Mtis dance steps, sequenced through choreography in fun, upbeat classes. McCallum said you will gain knowledge of dances such as the Red Jig, belt dance, broom dance and orange blossom special all the while getting in a workout without even knowing it. The workshops take place on Thursdays starting April 15 and take place each week until May 20 from 6 to 7 p.m. via Zoom.
In the Powwow Impact workshops, McCallum will teach a form of dance that not only connects you to culture, but also provides the benefits of a physical workshop. Learn the basics of powwow with two or three steps each class that are sequenced through choreography. McCallum said by the last workshop you will have the knowledge of 10 or more powwow steps and will have an opportunity to dance freely and share your own style. The workshops take place on Tuesdays starting April 20 and take place each week until May 25 from 6 to 7 p.m. via Zoom.
Both of the workshops are free and people of all ages and abilities are welcome to join.
