The community members of Revelstoke had the wonderful opportunity to learn from Simran. There were many laughs, smiles and new experiences to be had! It made such a lasting impression on attendees as it is a dance style that is not widely practiced where we are and was so fun for the whole class to be beginners in something. Simran inspired our creativity and artistry by empowering our own inner dancers, weaving waacking and posing elements into improvisation. It was such an uplifting and enjoyable workshop!

The students of THE STUDIO had the priviledge of working with Simran, Sophia and Severin to deepen their understandings of waacking, hip-hop, and breaking and most importantly about themselves as dancers. Alongside teaching the fundamentals in these three styles, the team empowered the dancers to make creative decisions by offering students a space to explore the movement capacity of their bodies; something so valuable to bring to our dancers. I am proud of the students for their efforts in this class and grateful to Simran, Sophia, and Severin for for bringing their creativity, expertise and inspiration.
