STAGE / FILM
Beginning on May 1, dancer/producer Heidi Ford will begin a 200 km journey from Summerside to Souris to gather support for an original dance show, That Dance Show, which premiered at the Harbourfront Theatre last summer.
Heidi is Canadian dancer, singer, and actor who performed in Anne of Green Gables, Anne and Gilbert, and Canada Rocks! The goal of Heidi’s shuffling across PEI is to raise the necessary $100,000 which will be used to further develop That Dance Show.
On May 25, auditions for That Dance Show will be held in Charlottetown and will be open to all young dancers from across Atlantic Canada. Ten dancers will be chosen for the professional experience. Educational seminars and workshops open to the public will be offered in conjunction to the run of the show.
Honorary Patron, George Mitton says, “Lions clubs throughout the province of Prince Edward Island have always held youth at the forefront of their community service projects, and are very excited about Heidi Ford’s Shuffle Hop Step Across PEI.”
