Welcome to the Year-end Showcase!
We acknowledge that we are on the Tsleil-Waututh First Nation's ancestral and unceded territory and are grateful for their hospitality.
Hello SD families! Thank you for being a part of our 2023/2024 season! We’ve had so much fun with all the dancers in and around the studio this year and we can’t believe we have already reached the year-end show! We have seen so much growth and progress, it is nothing short of inspiring. The enthusiasm everyone has brought to the studio to be more involved and show their love for dance makes us very proud. The final curtain tonight merely signals an intermission and not the end. Next season awaits us and we are wishing everyone an amazing summer. Finally, we want to wish our grads love and support in any endeavour they choose! They will always have a home here at Seymour Dance. Here’s to more growth, passion and joy in the season to come!
With love,
Marissa, Katie and Lauren
Thank you Sponsors!
