The Richmond Youth Dance Company returns to the stage in March with Mosaico, a collage of different works creating one beautiful piece.
Mosaico (Italian for mosaic) is a collection of ballet pieces presented by members of the Richmond Youth Dance Company.
Under the direction of Miyouki Jego and with guest artists Megan Phillips and Delara Tiv, young dancers will showcase self-choreographed numbers that reflect their individual expression and professional development.
Phillips, a professional actor and acting teacher, brings a technique that helps the dancers use comedy as a way to increase confidence in their artistic expression.
Tiv, meanwhile, uses her mastery of Flamenco to help the dancers incorporate strength and grace.
All these elements are tied together by the Richmond Arts Centre’s senior choreographer and head teacher, Jego.
Mosaico marks the seventh annual dance showcase performed by the 24 auditioned dancers of the Richmond Youth Dance Company.
Performances take place on Friday, March 3 and Saturday, March 4 at 7 p.m. and Sunday, March 5 at 2 p.m. at the Richmond Cultural Centre’s performance hall. Tickets are $7 and are available in advance at the centre or by calling 604 247-8300.
