Director's message

Summer is sharing. Sharing space. Sharing time. Sharing food. Sharing pleasure and leisure, hobbies and adventures. Sharing homes, stories, and photos. The abundance all around brings out the spirit of generosity. More of everything to go around. More of ourselves to give.

This summer, Chelsea, Yoko and I benefitted enormously from the generosity of others. Our travels took us to Ipperwash Beach, ON., BellPort, NY., and Beauport QC. Thank you for welcoming me and my family into your lives.

MamaDances gets back into full swing with the promotion of our fall classes. Please help us to spread the word.

Sincerely,
Eryn

MamaDances 2014-15 has been a great success!

We are deeply moved and inspired by the presence of so many beautiful Mama (and Papa!) Dancers, and the loving support and energy of everyone who participated in the Montreal Gathering. Lets be sure to organize one of these fun family events in Toronto next year. Special thanks to those who couldn't attend and made a donation, anyway. It is an incredible honour and priviledge to be part of your lives.

Update!

Danse, Danse en Famille continues every Tuesday at Park Villeneuve 4:30-5:30 until September 8. Another thing to get going in Toronto next year. The musicians that have played for us so far include: Louise Campbell on clarinet, Olivier St Pierre on tablas, Amelia Lendrevill on violin and Alain Pavio on tambour.
Ecole de Danse Quatre Temps brought Eryn to Rimouski to help develope their own Parent Child Dance Program. Rimouski
Preparations for Eryn's residency as guest artist and catalyst of Programa Moinho at The University of Florianopolis, Brazil are underway.
Eryn is the recipient of The Canada Council for the Arts Grants to Dance Artists program, to further develop the MamaDances methodology and pedagogy.

In your words:

My son and I had our first class today and it was great! Such a warm and welcoming class, very baby engaging and friendly. I have zero dance experience and I don't know what compelled me to sign up for the classes but I am so glad I did!

Just wanted to say thank you!

Looking forward to next week.

Thanks,

Katie

Changing of the Garde:

Thank you Mélanie Larose. Welcome Codruta Marin. MamaDances has a new administrative coordinator.

Goodbye from Mélanie:

I have enjoyed being with you, as administrative coordinator of MamaDances for a year and a half. Your calls connected me to the joys and challenges of everyday life as a parent. I imagined you behind the stroller, with a baby in a carrier or with a toddler at your side, smiling or in tears, running towards your weekly MamaDances class.
I learned a lot. Now, it is my turn in pregnancy. My first child will be born early December. With this change I am suddenly connected to all the women who, one day, for months, carried a child. This is huge! I sincerely wish you all Mama and Papa Dancers, partners and colleagues, varied and rich experiences of sense.
Sincerely,
Mélanie Larose
