Looking for a fun thing to do on a cold Saturday? Why not take in a dance? In conjunction with Dance Ontario's Dance Weekend 2015, The Dufferin Dance Network will present Dufferin Dance 2015 featuring workshops, live streaming and performances.
Beginning with opening night performances at Rosemont Hall, 995722 Mono Adjala Townline, in Rosemont on Friday, January 16th at 7:30 p.m, a fun filled first time ever Saturday hosted by the Dufferin Museum and Archives will be jammed packed with a variety of entertaining and affordable dance related activities to take part in. Whether you are a dancer, interested in a dance workshop, or enjoy simply being amazed by the talent as a dance enthusiast, there is something for everyone to take part in.
Hoping to unite the entire Dufferin Community with jazz, contemporary, tap and hip hop, the weekend will include featured presentations of line dancing, step dancing, The Orange Peel Morris Dancers and a solo performance of a dancer from Community Living Dufferin. Shelburne's own, Director of Turn It Out Studio will also be performing with students.
This historic event featuring even rival studios dancing together will also offer live streaming from 1–5 p.m., bringing dance to all rural communities as well.
Dufferin Museum and Archives will host Dance workshops Saturday, January 17th from 10 a.m. until noon followed by live performances from 1–5 p.m. Tickets are $10 per person, $25 per family for the day, available at the door, cash only, and sponsorship weekend pass tickets are only available at www.ticketpro.ca, 1 888-655-9090. Soup and sandwiches will be available for $15.
The weekend pass does include two tickets to opening night, two tickets to Saturday events including two lunches, a raffle ticket and a free gift. Sponsorship will include recognition on all printed material as well as DDN Dedicated Facebook page as a Patron of Dufferin Dance Weekend 2015.

“This is the first time we are able to present such an event and in celebrating dance we hope to pull together the entire dance community of Dufferin County. It is already an historic event as rival studios will be on stage together and of course the live streaming is a very exciting aspect,” said Gowing.
