Team Canada Dance - World Championships - Poland

Hi, we are Emma and Taylor. We’ve loved dancing for as long as we can remember (we started dance classes at age 4!). We first met at our competitive dance teams at age 8 and have been dancing together ever since!

We will be travelling to represent Canada at the official IDO World Showdance Championships to be held in Zielona Gora, Poland from Nov 12 - Nov 19, 2022. Auditions for Team Canada Dance brought some of the best dancers from across Canada to vie for a position to represent our country at this prestigious event. We are so very honoured to have been chosen by Ms. Kim Barker, a renowned Canadian choreographer to represent Team Canada Dance!

The International Dance Organization (IDO), is a World Dance and Dance-Sport Federation with a membership of over 90 Nations, representing more than 250,000 dancers, from six continents. The best dancers from around the World will be competing for the World Championships Title!

Dancers of our caliber train for many hours a week in order to represent our country with pride. Each dancer is required to raise their own funds to cover all travel, (air & ground), resort fees, ground transportation, choreography fees, costume fees, IDO entry fees, starter fees, international licensee fees and travel fees to Toronto for rehearsals.

The IDO is a European based Organization so our Canadian Dollar must also be converted to Euros. Each dancer must also obtain their own sponsors as the Canadian Dance Teams do not have a major sponsor and do not receive Government Support.

100% of what you are donating goes directly for our participation to represent Canada on the world stage!

Any amount that you could donate to help sponsor us would be VERY MUCH APPRECIATED.

The event will be live streamed. Check out teamcanadadance.ca for more information on how you can check us out on the world stage!

Thank you so much for your help!

Taylor & Emma
