Join Jammin\u2019 Cameron and Andr\u00e9 Bessette\u2019s experimental workshop investigating parallels between House Dance and M\u00e9tis Jigging. First Andr\u00e9 will teach M\u00e9tis jigging basics then Jammin\u2019 Cameron will lead an intro house lesson. Finally, we\u2019ll apply House and Jigs steps interchangeably with traditional fiddle tunes and electronic music on the decks.<\/span><\/p>\n

In this Jig\/House workshop Andr\u00e9 & Jammin\u2019 Cameron reflect on the inherence of community and self-expression found in both House Dance and M\u00e9tis Jigging. These dances originated in underground clubs, kitchen parties, and community gatherings where folks gathered to share joy, movement, and interconnectedness.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

House, birthed in Queer Black and Latin club spaces in the early 1980s, merges a variety of social and cultural dances emphasizing both connection and individual expression. 200 years earlier M\u00e9tis peoples blended traditional dances from their various cultural backgrounds, including N\u00eahiyaw, Anishnaabe, Scottish, Irish, and French, to inspire M\u00e9tis Jigging. <\/span><\/p>\n

All welcome including beginners.
\nWear indoor non-marking shoes or moccasins if possible – outside shoes are not permitted inside the studio.
\nAccessibility: the workshops take place in the Jandali Studio on level 4. We regret that this studio is only accessible via stairs (10 steps up or down).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
