LEAD (Leadership, Empowerment, Action, Dance) is a free program led by professional artists and community mentors that empowers individuals who identify as women and nonbinary+ ages 16-25 to invest in their leadership practice. Co-presented by Canada’s National Ballet School, Dance Saskatchewan, Ballet Edmonton, and Halifax Dance, LEAD Regional Workshops use dance as a foundation from which to explore and invest in the unique leadership potential of each participant. Through active workshops, dance classes, facilitated discussions, and peer networking, LEAD empowers youth to connect their dance practice to questions of equity, belonging, and social justice, supporting them in taking on leadership roles now and into the future.
Through this workshop, participants will:
- Participate in movement classes led by professional artists who represent diverse styles and practices

- Learn how community arts initiatives can be a catalyst for positive change in their community
