“Step Mis-step”
April 29, 2009, 8pm
Dance Forum Space, 36E West Avenue, QC
Features Dance Forum, UP Dance Company, Airdance, Chameleon Dance Theatre, Lyceum Dance Theatre, UP PEP Squad
STEP MIS-STEP connotes syncopation, a missed beat with emphasis on a weaker beat. Contemporary dance is that step mis-step – meaning, everything that is seemingly “excluded” is included. Dance is varied, rich, and inclusive - a rhythm, a play, a process, and all the mis-steps that come with the steps.

International Dance Day Message 2009
written by Akram Khan
"This very special day, International Dance Day, is dedicated to the one language that everybody in this world can speak, the inherent language of our bodies and our souls, of our ancestors and of our children.
This day is dedicated to every god, guru and grandparent that ever taught and inspired us.
To every song and impulse and moment that's ever moved us to move.
It is dedicated to the little child that wishes it could move like its star.
And to the mother who says, 'you already can'.
This day is dedicated to every body of every creed, colour and culture that carries the traditions of its past into stories of the present and dreams of the future.
This day is dedicated to Dance, to its myriad dialects and its immense power to express, transform, unite and delight."
