The True Colours Youth Company of Performing Arts is hosting its first Community-Inspired Celebration of Dance on May 7 at the Old Church Theatre in Courtenay.
The 22 local members, ranging in age from 11 to 17, are looking forward to sharing the stage in this collaboration of talent.
Artistic director Livea Gill wanted to commemorate the fifth season of the Valley’s premier youth dance company and envisioned an abundance of dancers showcasing their love of movement in honour of International Dance Week (April 22 to May 1).
Gill was thrilled as the responses to her invitation came rolling in.
