Dancing in
Sioux Lookout
This year The Chimera Project, with support of The Trillium Foundation, has been given the opportunity to bring dance workshops, technique and fitness classes to Sioux Lookout in northern Ontario. These dance initiatives were conceived and executed in partnership with the Sioux Hudson Entertainment Series, Nishnawbe-Gamik Friendship Centre, Sioux Mountain Elementary School and Impact Theatre.
In August, the company brought yoga, breaking (break-dancing), DanceFit and BallFit classes to the local community. In addition, The Chimera Project organized a Flash Mob featuring local dancers led by Cadence Paleske that surprised the crowd at the 25th annual Blueberry Festival.
