Downtown dance company presents 'An Explosion of World Dance & Music'

Ammena Dance Company is excited to present their annual show, 'An Explosion of World Dance and Music', on March 5th (starting at 7:00 p.m.) in the Yates Theatre. Everyone is invited to attend an evening of culture. Desserts and drinks served at intermission.

Located in downtown Lethbridge, the Ammena Dance Company is proud to be Lethbridge’s first adult dance and fitness company. They offer over 20 classes each week with over 200 students. They are grateful for all the opportunities and support they receive and for being able to share their love of dance with the people of our community.

Ammena Dance Company was founded in 2004. Their owner, Lise-Anne Talhami, had a vision of bringing the cultural and fitness aspects of dance together to make a unique, exciting workout experience.

By 2007, the studio had grown and students started to show interest in showcasing their new-found talent. This started an annual production, 'An Explosion of World Dance and Music', that brings together local musicians, dancers, and artists.

The first show was held in the intimate settings of the Sterndale Bennett Theatre. There was such a wonderful response from that show, that in March 2008 they moved the show to a larger venue - Yates Memorial Centre for the Performing Arts.

The Company is excited about another great year of bringing dancers from all over Canada to teach workshops, host evening performances as well as working on their new pieces for their annual show.
