Hey Everyone! How's your summer? Feels like it just started over here in Calgary, but that's OK, we have hot sunny days and warm lovely nights and a ton of mixes that are keeping us afloat as we drift down the Bow, hike through the Rockies and prepare for what is sure to be the funnest fall yet! Yeah I said it, fall, it's around the corner and we're working on some big tours so be prepared to keep your dancing shoes well polished and well worn.
Our tutu's are packed, we’re covered in bug repellent and we’ve planned to paint a giant magical unicorn on the side of our tent, well not really but you know what this all means??? We're off to SHAMBHALA MUSIC FESTIVAL! We're taking almost the entire roster onsite to dance in the Fractal Forest, on the Pagoda, in the Rock Pit, Atop the Ewok Village and chilled out in the Living Room. This is the biggest even of the year for us and we look forward to seeing old friends and making new ones. Here's our schedule!
