~ZEN.TANGLED - Raino Dance School in Concert~

Tickets are now on SALE!

Raino Dance’s June show is the yearly harvest of all the hardwork of our Full Year Program students & their dedicated teachers/artists.

Saturday, June 20 • 7 PM - 9 PM

Tickets: https://www.eventbrite.ca/e/zentangled-raino-dance-school-in-concert-tickets-1988202765994?aff=ebdssbdestsearch

Join Raino Dance for Zen Tangled, a powerful celebration marking the culmination of the Full-Year Program (September to June). This special performance features adult dancers aged 18–80, showcasing the skill, growth, and artistry developed over ten months of dedicated training.

Under the direction of guest artistic director Dyana Sonik-Henderson, this year's theme, Zen Tangled explores the interplay between serenity and complexity. The theme reflects a fusion of calm and chaos where tangled movement, emotion, and experience are not erased, but shaped into something grounded, intentional, and meaningful.
