Classical Dancer Learie Mcnicolls performs his magnum opus about Redemption and the resurrection of one's Soul. The evidence is in the body. That body never forgets. God bless. "For 40 years I walked in anger, slept in anger, spoke in anger, danced in anger and no one noticed..... not even me. we speak if the roots of a Culture.... a Tradition...... Source of a river. This then is my Source. Where Anger hibernated for crazed Decades and caused untold grief and suffering. So I beat myself up. This Dancer became internalized like a crazed Demon and pummeled me like a boxer, who I recognized as The Trickster in us all. The Voices in my head deserve a  response. I answer back. They are silent."

In their past shows here they have SOLD OUT, so be extra sure that you don't miss out and get your tickets now! Here is just a bit about these Star Performers.

FIN DE FIESTA brings Spanish passion to Canadian soil. This group of flamenco artists recently returned to Canada from Seville, Spain where they spent some time Studying flamenco intensively, and are now organizing a tour to perform the new material. Most also Perform with Flamenguitos del Notre, a flamenco collective that has performed at flamenco festivals across Canada. The name FIN DE FIESTA translates to "End of the Party", a reference to the open jam session that occurs at the end of a traditional flamenco show in Spain. It is during the fin de fiesta that the true improvisational and spirited nature of flamenco shows itself, and it is that lively spirit that inspires the group. FIN DE FIESTA is made up of guitarist Dennis Duffin, singer Tamar Llana, and dancers Lia Grainger and Alexandra Talbot.

Hey there Pearls!

Dust off your dancing shoes because this Saturday March 8th, Michael Williams and his sidekick Paul Chin are bringing music that will have you dancing up a storm. If you were here at the New Years celebration than you know that these men knows their stuff about music! Here is a bit about who they are, and what they are bringing with them:

Michael Williams (whom you may know from his days as a VJ on Much Music) has been our go-to DJ, with his sidekick Paul Chin, for many an event at The Pearl. We are hoping to make this a regular event, having them come every few months, since there are lots of people out there who love to dance *happily raises hand*. Michael and Paul are very open to musical requests, so come prepped with some of your dancing favourites. You can expect to hear mostly Rock and Dance music, and maybe if we ask very nicely, these lovely gents will even let us hear some slow ones so that we can catch our breath.

Doors will be opening at 7:30pm and the event should be starting about 8:00pm. Tickets will be sold for $15 or $10 to all students/artists/and seniors. Get your tickets now so that you know you won't miss out!
