More than 100 Indigenous youth from across Canada are in Brant County this week, preparing for a major dance performance in Toronto through a national program focused on confidence, culture and education.
The students are part of Outside Looking In, an Indigenous-led organization that uses dance to support school engagement and personal development among youth from First Nation and Inuit communities.
Inside a barn loft at Tim Hortons Foundation Camp, dancers will spend about a week rehearsing choreography that blends hip hop, contemporary dance and Indigenous cultural elements ahead of a showcase at Toronto’s St. Lawrence Centre for the Arts on May 15.
