The rhythms and images of the M\u00e9tis spirit come alive through traditional and contemporary styles of M\u00e9tis dance and music in Red River Special, which combines the Red River Jig \u2013 the national dance of the M\u00e9tis \u2013 with the Orange Blossom Special, and square dances. Traditionally, dancers would challenge themselves to perform up to 100 \u201cfancy steps\u201d during the Red River Jig and the company will build on that tradition with a crescendo of steps and \u201ccrooked\u201d fiddle tunes. This joyful performance celebrates the best of the old and the new, and is sure to get your toes tapping!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
