“There’s people in my classes who are in their 70’s…
and they’re killing it.”
Variations Film Trailer
Motivated by the chance to perform, I joined the RWB program six years ago and decided to create this film to challenge the notion that dance is solely for the young. The goal is to inspire adults—whether they’ve aged out of childhood programs, are current adolescent dancers, or have long dreamed of starting—to explore their passion for dance. It’s never too late to pursue what brings joy and fulfillment. By showcasing relatable stories and experiences present in this film, I aim to break down barriers and encourage others to join us on the dance floor.
Behind the Scenes
This is where the magic happens! Behind-the-scenes pictures offer a unique glimpse into the creative process, revealing the hard work and collaboration that often goes unnoticed.
Cast and Crew
This film was made possible thanks to all who participated. Our interviewees who graciously shared their stories, our dancers who were willing to train and perform on camera, Film Training Manitoba and Documentary Organization of Canada and Danielle Sturk for the valuable mentorship, as well as my crew and the Royal Winnipeg Ballet Marketing Team’s production assistance.
