“We are always talking about how important it is for larger communities to bring their work to smaller communities, but in our time at SSI I believe we learnt so much more from them. Time & space to slow down, open up, and indulge in the pleasure of dance. Being far away from the rules and politics within dance, different communities remind us to hold on to the magic of dance, which is the moment. The lessons. The honest, learning. And most importantly the people.”
— Simran Sachar

Sofia Sosa offers a Hip-Hop workshop to an enthusiastic group of Salt Spring Island dancers.

“A successful and truly joyful experience, Glowing and smiling faces and non-stop dancing gave witness to the obvious passion and love for dance that emanated from both Simran and Sophia and inspired all who danced with them. I am so happy and grateful for the energy that all the participants brought to Antler Ridge Dance studio and the generous animating of their spirits through dance.”
