Valley dancers will have a chance to expose themselves to international talent next week, as Castlegars SQx Danza, a registered charity, will be hosting workshops at Glacier Peaks Gymnastic Centre in Invermere that will feature talented dancers from London, England.

Glacier Peaks Gymnastic Centre together with Peaks Danceworks are presenting the workshop that will feature SQx Danza company dancers and the acts theyve performed in Londons Covent Garden that demonstrate their ultra-European contemporary dance style, states the press release.

We will be flying in from London, UK to teach in Invermere, said Carmen Moreira, executive director of SQx Danza.

Through the use of contemporary dance, SQx promotes social values such as kinship, collaboration, and teamwork.

Ms. Moreira, who will be a part of the workshops, grew up in the West Kootenays, and has studied dance in Trail, Winnipeg, Toronto and London, England.

The workshops will take place at the Glacier Peaks Gymnastic Centre at 100 Capilo Way. Anybody with the ambition to dance is invited to attend.
