‘It was just fantastic’

Garry Popowich, retired from 31 years’ working in the provincial government in education, was among the enthusiastic audience at the Jubilee.

“It was just fantastic. I was just amazed by the choreography, the costumes, the stories,” he said, especially complimenting “the finesse in the dancing, the movements, the fluidity, and the fact that they demonstrate a very high degree of coordination and articulation in their moves and the response in terms of the music.”

“They’re in harmony together and it’s just a delight to watch them,” Mr. Popowich praised the performers.

“I was in a deficit position in terms of not really realizing how rich the culture is until I saw this performance,” he added.

“It’s just outstanding.”
