iDance Pulse:
Disability & Dance
A contemporary and improvisation workshop for all.
iDance Vancouver is a dance studio dedicated to providing inclusive and diverse dance experiences for adults. Our belief in the power of community drives us to support authentic self-expression through the joy of movement and dance. We are thrilled to introduce our new initiative, iDance Pulse, designed to offer dance workshops for traditionally marginalized groups.
Join us for a captivating 1.5-hour workshop where you will have the opportunity to learn inclusive contemporary dance and improvisation. Weaving together self-expression with skill-building to find joy in moving with others. The workshop is led by Harmanie Rose, an experienced and passionate disabled dance artist who facilitates spaces for all bodies to work collaboratively and create connections that uplift disabled, MAD, and marginalized artists. Her dance practice explores the vulnerability of the disabled lived experience, exploring movement authentic to bodies not often represented in dance

Commercial Jazz with
Kassia and Colleen

Their Gemini and Virgo energies are contagious in class - you’ll be wishing the time would turn back! This song was an easy choice for them both - ‘Home’ by Kanglerrussell - bringing in warm, vibrant, and inviting textures. The choreography will be a beautiful blend of Jazz technique & passion with smooth commercialized lines and accents. We are looking forward to exploring the space with you!
