With a renewed focus for 2013, KDT started out with a very successful and busy January. We had the exciting opportunity to showcase excerpts of TransMigration for Ontario Dances. KDT attended the annual CAPACOA Conference in Toronto. Rehearsals for our Medicine Bear tour commenced at the end of the month and our 2013 tour kicks off in February. We will be traveling across Ontario with Prologue to the Performing Arts and will also be touring in the United States. Coming up in March is our 2nd Annual March Break Performance Camp taking place in St. Catharines, Ontario.

 

Thank you for all for your support and encouragement.
