Come enjoy three days of incredible classes followed up by a show of Masters and special guests, including the winner of 2008 Northern Star Talent Search – a display of talent that you will never forget, and that has never been seen in Alberta!

Founding Director, New LEJA Dances & Philly TAP Challenge "ON FIRE!"
From "Akeelah and the Bee", Marianne Williamson, A Return to Love (from chapter 'Personal Power') "Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, 'who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?' Actually, who are you not to be? There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others."
