Jig’n Time with Dean Davis (NDC)

Jigging has brought Métis people together for generations — it’s more than just dance, it’s a celebration of identity, community, and resilience.

Join us at the Indigenous Support Centre for Jig’n Time, an energetic midday session of jigging and square dancing led by renowned instructor Dean Davis. Whether you’re a beginner or seasoned stepper, come connect through rhythm, laughter and tradition as part of our Thrive Week celebrations.

So grab your dancing shoes — let’s keep the tradition alive, one step at a time!
