“I feel like it’s a magic trick that really unifies audi- ence members.” Come out and see Magician & the Muse before they ... disappear. ***** Indigenous Celebration Day takes place on Satur- day, April 5 and what a celebration it will be as the Royal Manitoba Winter Fair welcomes the exuberant artistry of four-time World Champion Hoop Dancer Dallas Arcand. This incredibly talented multi-disciplinary Cree performer hails from Alexander First Nation, Alber- ta. Arcand has devoted 30 years to his art and is re- nowned not only for his spectacular hoop dancing, but as a cultural ambassador dedicated to preserving and promoting Indigenous culture with dance, music and storytelling. The World Championship Hoop Dance Contest, now in its 35th year, is a highly esteemed event in the Indigenous arts community, taking place in Phoenix, Arizona. Earlier this year, dancing in competition with the best hoop dancers in North America, Dallas Ar- cand took the prestigious title World Champion for a historic fourth time in his career.
The Canine Circus — self-styled as the “Greatest Show on Four Legs” — will bring the tail-wagging feats of its furry stars to the Winter Fair this year. (Submitted)
