The annual Guelph Dance Festival celebrated 15 years of dance with a variety of workshops, staged performances, and unique shows. Through June 5 to June 7, the city was captivated by the cultural and communal engagement brought forth by the festival. The Guelph Dance Festival spreads a message of inclusion. Families, friends, and dance spectators gathered around a circle, dancing with excitement. It was apparent that each dancer who participated in the festivities ignited the audience with acrobatic dance moves. The dancers movements extend and contract in a way that is responsive to human emotion. With nearly 21 different groups involved in the performances, the level of high-calibre dance brought to the city will continue to resonate throughout the community.
