Whidbey Island Dance Theatre | Choreographer's Showcase

“CELEBRATION OF DANCE”

Every spring, Whidbey Island Dance Theatre presents its annual “Celebration of Dance” choreography showcase. These performances not only serve to highlight the diverse talents of their broadly trained dancers, but also feature the work of both resident and professional guest choreographers in an array of dance genres, with a focus on contemporary styles.

The auction will take place before and during intermission of the performances and is vital to the bottom-line of this beloved community organization.

These performances not only serve to highlight the diverse talents of their broadly trained dancers, but also feature the work of both resident and professional guest choreographers in an array of dance genres, with a focus on contemporary styles.

Audiences are invited to come and enjoy the passion and dedicated artistry of these young dancers as revealed through the unique personalities of each choreographer. Please come on out and watch them shine, while supporting this important nonprofit!

LAND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

Whidbey Island Center for the Arts would like to begin by acknowledging that we gather on the ancestral homelands, originally known as Tscha-kole-chy (SHA-KOL-CHI) in Lushootseed (LU-SHOOT-SEED), of the Coastal Salish Peoples, on the lands of the lower Skagit, Tulalip (tuh·lay·luhp), Swinomish (SWIN-ə-mish), Snohomish (snō-hō-mish), Stillaguamish (still-uh-GWAH-mish), and Suquamish (soo-kwah-mish), who have lived in the Salish Sea basin since time immemorial and have hunted, fished, gathered, and taken care of these lands.

We respect their sovereignty, their right to self-determination, and we honor their sacred spiritual connection with the land and water.

Please join us in expressing our deepest respect and gratitude to the indigenous people of this territory and for their enduring care and protection of the land in which we currently occupy and share through the Treaty of Point Elliott signed by 82 tribes in Múckl-te-óh (Mukilteo) on January 22, 1855.
