Exact change only.  \nArtist Bios: \n\nBrianna Maltais is a tap dancer and improviser with a focus on tap dance history\, multidisciplinary collaboration\, and the exploration of textural soundscapes. Her performance credits include appearances with The Skyliners Big Band at the Barrie Jazz and Blues Festival\, Get Out and Dance produced by Simcoe Contemporary Dancers\, the Toronto International Dance Festival\, and Dance Against the Wind\, produced by Vintage Taps Company and starring Brenda Buffalino.Brianna contributed to the 2024 Toronto International Tap Dance Festival as part of the production team for Toffan Rhythm Projects. She also co-produced an event for Barrie Culture Days celebrating Canadian tap dancer Joey Hollingsworth. \nCurrently\, Brianna is involved in Heather Cornell’s Legacy Project\, working alongside a musical collaborator and receiving mentorship from esteemed tap dance masters Heather Cornell\, Dianne Walker\, Max Pollack\, and pianist Andy Milne. \n\n\nJaqui Brown is a movement artist and dance teacher from Newmarket\, Ontario. She earned a diploma in Performance Dance Studies and a Certificate in the Performing Arts from George Brown College. Additionally\, Jaqui earned her degree in Psychology and Spanish from York University. Jaqui joined SCD in 2014.

Kasandra instantly fell in love with dance\, and at 4 years old\, enrolled in her own classes. She practised ballet\, tap\, acro\, and jazz in Brampton\, ON and competed intensely all over the region. Kasandra and her family then moved to Barrie in 2002\, and she has called our city home ever since. She continued competitive dancing and added lyrical\, pointe\, and hip hop to her repertoire of disciplines. Ballet and pointe became Kasandra’s favourite discipline as she loved the intricate footwork\, grace and softness of each movement. In her high school years\, Kasandra was a member of the Eastview Dance Team from 2009-2012. The team performed around the school\, helping to create a vibrant artistic culture. Kasandra enjoyed being part of a performing group for her school community. Contemporary dance was heavily practised during these years at Eastview\, as Kasandra took multiple dance courses. She learned various movements\, timing\, techniques\, etc. throughout class assignments and performances. Kasandra took a break from dance as she pursued post-secondary education and received a diploma in Early Childhood Education from Georgian College and spent a few years in her field. Kasandra aspires to create again through contemporary dance and movement while being a part of the Simcoe County community. Dance has been\, and always will be an integral part of her life.
