Jason Samuels Smith, Joel Hanna, Jessie Sawyers, Riley Skworoda, and Jeffrey Dawson come together for this very special presentation that shares performances by and conversations with some of the most extraordinary dancers in the world who, at different places in their lives/careers, are asked the very abstract question “what if you could do that one again?”

We’ve all felt what it’s like to walk away from something; a conversation, a project, or an encounter thinking ” I wish I just…”. For dancers, leaving a stage that way is a kind of torture we put on ourselves. But it is also the sentiment that drives us to practice and pursue that perfect expression.

So, what if they had another chance? What would they do differently and why? What happened? Was it external circumstances or was it internal?

Come witness the insight into the hearts and minds of the long time professionals and virtuoso outliers, with their stories of struggle, perseverance and triumph from voices not typically heard. Then translated into the language that they express themselves with the loudest… Tap Dance.

With a live band (The Dean Thiessen Trio), hosted by Joel Hanna, and danced with joyfully open hearts, let us give you a wonderful night of incredible dance, wonderful music, stories and copious amounts of laughter.

let us dance for you.
