2023 Annual Showcase:

Plans for the 2024 Annual Showcase are well underway with several communities already committed to incorporating the OLI dance program into their school year.

“Dancing is very healthy for my spiritual, mental, emotional and physical health,” explains Taison Geyshick, an 18-year-old Future Leader and OLI dancer from Lac La Croix First Nation in Manitoba. “I learned what I am capable of when I push myself. Stepping out of my comfort zone is essential for more opportunities.”

Outside Looking In (OLI) was founded in 2007 and is a nationally-registered charitable organization that aims to empower Indigenous youth through the transformative art of dance while they pursue education, increase their mental and physical health, and engage in self-expression.
