There are hundreds of registered Culture Days activities in every cultural field you can think of (search for a registered Culture Days activity here and you’ll see what I mean). Some of the most interactive and family-oriented activities are being hosted by dance studios and companies. Take a master class, go behind the scenes at a studio, or stretch your legs a bit with the basics of ballet or contemporary dance.

In Saskatchewan, the Youth Ballet and Contemporary Dance Saskatchewan company is hosting Open Dance classes at the YBCS studios in Regina. Parents and children can stop by and try out dance lessons, from preschool to adult, or simply watch dance lessons in progress. Open classes also range in skill level from beginner to advanced. Visit the Culture Days activity page for more information and directions.

Also during Culture Days, the White Birch Ballet Company, Saskatchewan’s only professional touring dance group, will host a workshop and demonstration session for youth in Rose Valley, Saskatchewan. The company will also hold a mini symposium on arts careers in collaboration with Dance Saskatchewan. For more information on the event, go to their Culture Days activity page. You can find out more about the White Birch Ballet Company on Facebook.
