Now also on Zoom for friends who can't make it live! Classes start next Thursday Nov 18 at @showpony.studio from 6-7pm. Only a couple in person spots left so make sure to register before they're gone!

Fusion Dance Drills is an all levels class focusing on refining and strengthening body isolations, arm and footwork, and fundamental dance techniques that are the building blocks of Luciterra's unique fusion dance style. Classes incorporate elements of Bellydance, Popping, Contemporary, Jazz, and Wh/aacking. Each class in the 5 week series starts with a quick warm up before moving into fusion dance drills. Movements will be broken down for newer dancers and level up options including layering and faster paced movements will be offered for more advanced dancers. Class will finish with either a short phrase putting together the movements practiced, or an improvisational exercise. The final class of the session will be a 2 hour class and social where students can mingle and show off their new skills in a supportive and shared environment. Dancer's from all styles and backgrounds are welcome to join!

Luciterra classes are held on the unceded and occupied territories of the Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish), Səl̓ílwətaʔ/Selilwitulh (Tsleil-Waututh) and xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam) Nations. We are honored and grateful to be able to live and create on these beautiful lands which inspire us every day. We will be donating 10% of the profits from our classes to different local Indigenous led organizations each session. This session's proceeds will be donated to the Indian Residential School Survivors Society.

Shoutout to our student @rhondawalsh1266 for rocking this choreography in last night's class! What happens when all your classmates can't make it at the last minute? Super fun private class is what!
Another session of all levels fusion drills class starts on Nov 18th at @showpony.studio !! We had so much fun in this last session working on our isolations, arms and waacking drills, combos, and improvisational skills. If you wanna join in on the fun hurry up and sign up cause there's only a couple spots left. We are also considering adding a zoom option for people who can't make it in person but want to join. Does that interest you? Let us know in the comments ❤

"What might global citizenship look like in the dancing body? Tune in from home for a virtual conversation that transcends the spoken word. Showcasing dance submissions from across the globe, this season's [un]WRAP embraces Transcultural Fusion Dance (TcFD) to imagine what fair trade cultural exchange should look like. These works ask what it means to let nation-state boundaries fall away and be part of a deliberately and thoughtfully blended global family."

Oooh we are very excited about our latest video project CHORDAE! We will be releasing the full video in our upcoming Fall newsletter with some other exciting announcements including in person events! If you want to see the whole thing be sure to subscribe to our newsletter through the l i n k in our B10 😉

CHORDAE is a playful pull on our collective heartstrings in exploration of the invisible bonds that tie us together. While no two experiences or expressions are exactly the same, when we follow the threads from one end to the other we see that we are all connected.

On this national holiday, we are taking time to reflect on our privilege of being able to dance on these stolen lands that we call home. Dance is an expression of self and a reflection of culture that has the power to connect, teach, and heal. It is how stories are passed from one generation to the next and a portal to the teachings of those who came before us. For a very long time indigenous people were forbidden to dance and express their culture. This was one of many acts of violence committed on the people of this land in an attempt to erase them. Today instead of celebrating a nation state which has and continues to commit genocide on our indigenous population, we are celebrating indigenous voices who are carrying and passing down the stories of their ancestors and the stories of these lands. Follow indigenous artists and hold the government and church accountable for their crimes.

This Saturday! We are excited to be included in the incredible cast of Belly Dance Brew! The proceeds will be donated to Black Women In Motion in honor of Juneteenth! Thank you @vanessaematthews for hosting <3 Please read for the details....

June 19th (or “Juneteenth”) is a significant date for the Black community in the USA, signifying the end of slavery in 1865. While slavery ended in Canada on August 1st 1834, we feel strongly in upholding the spirit of the Juneteenth holiday more globally.

In honour of Juneteenth, a portion of this month’s tips will be donated to BLACK WOMEN IN MOTION (BWiM); a Toronto-based, youth-led organization that empowers and supports the advancement of black women, gender-non-conforming and non-binary survivors of gender-based violence. They work within an anti-racist, intersectional feminist, trauma-informed and survivor-centred framework to create culturally-relevant resources, healing spaces, educational and economic opportunities for survivors.
