Move with Culture: Métis Jigging
March 2, 2023 @ 4:00 pm - 6:00 pm
Sport & Rec’s EDIB team, Diversity Moves Us, hosts a series of workshops throughout the year to offer students a positive and safer space to learn and participate in culturally relevant physical activity.
All workshops are open to all students excited to learn and participate.
Join Alicia Blore (Métis Strings) and Megan Southwell (Toronto Métis Jiggers) in Métis jigging! Métis jigging is an upbeat and energetic style of dance that fuses First Nations footwork and rhythm with European step dancing. It is a socially centred style of dance done to Métis fiddle music and proudly shared by Métis communities across the Homelands. Come dance Red River jigging, partner dancing, and social (group) dancing all to Alicia’s vibrant live fiddle music!
Date: Wednesday, March 2, 4-6 p.m.
Location: GR Fitness Studio
REGISTER HERE! Registration opens February 16.
Our Move with Culture Series offers students a positive and safe space to try out and participate in culturally relevant physical activity!
