Telling Stories Through Dance: Shumka Celebrated 60 Years of Tradition in Motion

Shumka’s 60th Anniversary production was a celebration of Shumka’s legacy as a small community-driven ethnic organization now seen as a leading dance company in Canada.

The Student Matinee was tailor-made to the educational process featuring the whimsical Mosquito’s Wedding with a moral behind the story, and an on-stage look at the world of filming and production.

The project included a Study Guide for use by teachers and students focused on curriculum-specific themes and activities. Developed by Shumka’s Education Committee, all Shumka Study Guides follow the Alberta Education curriculum.
