NATIONAL & INTERNATIONAL EVENTS
International News A note from Nicki Flinn, your daCi USA National Representative: “There is a child within all of us!” This was a statement made at our daCi International meeting in September. Beliefs like this one remind me of why I, and so many others, love daCi. The organization is rooted in this spirit and the mission to grow and develop dance. In the upcoming year, daCi International is working to build and implement a sustainable strategic plan, grow membership and create connections between members globally. There are a number of initiatives available and ways to become involved. Take time to utilize the website and member resources such as daCi Connect, an interactive platform designed to make the daCi world a little closer. And learn more about the upcoming 15th international conference, Dancing into Communities. It will be hosted in Toronto, Canada from July 10-15, 2022, and delivered online with groups encouraged to gather locally to participate online globally. Programming will include many of the events and activities that we all associate with daCi conferences, including performances by children and youth, scholarly presentations, and opportunities for children and youth to create and collaborate with others. Join in! Registration Opens: Monday, January 24, 2022 Questions can be directed to either of the Dancing into Communities co-chairs: Norma Sue Fisher-Stitt: normasue@yorku.ca Nancy Francis: nfrancis@brocku.ca
