Testosterone took over the Unchaga Hall Saturday afternoon.
No, not the male hormone but a dance event with the curious moniker that was organized by the Kiwanis Performing Arts Centre (KPAC) dance program.
Testosterone is their award winning performance at the National Street Dance competition in Edmonton, which placed first overall recently.
And on Saturday, for the 2 p.m. event, the KPAC dancers wanted to showcase their award-winning performances for Dawson Creek. More than 100 people turned out to see the performance, and the effect on the audience was undeniable.
The crowd joined in with cheering, clapping and joyful jubilation throughout the Testosterone dance event especially, but seemed to enjoy all of the performances.
“We were really thrilled with our ladies,” said Terri Hanen, executive director of KPAC, about the many young dancers who performed in all the events in their competitions in Western Canada, who were all from Dawson Creek area.
“They (the KPAC dancers) just cleaned up the awards in Edmonton. Every entry we had either won a platinum or diamond standing in that competition.”
The dance events order of appearance included Pop Drop Roll (Jazz), Back in Time (Hip Hop), Contemporary (Solo), Doomsday (Hip Hop), Tap Solo, Dance With Me Tonight (Tap), Jhoom (International), Lyrical Solo, Breathe Me (Lyrical), Scream (Jazz), Mercy (Tap), Contemporary Solo, Out Of My Mind (Hip Hop), Shelter (Lyrical), Wanna See You Dance (Jazz), Tap Solo, All I Want (Tap), Valse de Naila (Classical Ballet), A Pirate’s Life (Jazz), Titanium (Lyrical), The Beautiful People (Jazz) and finally, their highest achieving dance event, Testosterone.
Keona Wheeler, a young lady who danced in the events Doomsday, Scream and All I Want, spoke with The Dawson Creek Daily News after the performances.
“I thought it went really, really good.” she beamed proudly.
“Testosterone is super upbeat and people really like that one.”
Wheeler has big plans for the future, which includes dancing as well as a teaching profession.
“I would like to dance for the rest of my life but I also want to be a kindergarten school teacher and study at McGill University in Montreal.”
Megan Gabriel, another young lady who danced in Titanium, Scream, Jhoom and Valse de Naila, said that she is sad to know she won’t be dancing in competitions and showcases for a while.
“It was kind of exciting but I have mixed emotions about not doing the dances anymore as our competitions and showcases are all done now.”
Gabriel wants to keep dancing as a hobby but has higher aspirations in mind for her chosen profession in life.
“I want to eventually make it to law school, and be a child’s rights lawyer or a family lawyer and study at Queens University in Kingston.”
All of the dancers, which numbered more than 30, had been practicing their routines since September of last year.
