IGNITE! will feature a short performance by Vancouver-based contemporary and street dance artist Simran Sachar accompanied by live musician and dancer Sophia Sosa. Sachar is a masterful dancer in Waacking, an energetic dance form with roots in the ‘70s Los Angeles disco scene. The duo will perform an excerpt of ACT TWENTY FIVE, a choreographic work channeled through the dance forms of Waacking and Contemporary.

Guests will enjoy a curated Wayward Distillery gin tasting and signature cocktail by Storied Wines and Spirits, while grooving to DJ Bill Stuart spinning all vinyl. Mouth-watering bites from local artisan suppliers, including Chocolat & Co., The Whole Beast Artisan Salumeria, Little Piggy Catering, and more, will be complemented by a variety of libations including wines by Emandare Vineyard. With an online auction (live Oct. 22) and the opportunity to take home a Mystery Bag full of exciting goodies from local businesses, no one will leave empty-handed!


All proceeds from IGNITE! benefit Dance Victoria’s artist support and community engagement programs, including our annual Residency program in DV’s Quadra Village studios; free community masterclasses and movement workshops; and ticket access programs Nutcracker Kids, Dance Is For Everyone, and Pay Your Age.

Dance Victoria Society is a non-profit organization with the mission to cultivate a connection to dance by presenting and supporting diverse local, national, and international artists, and inspiring all communities through the magic of dance. Our vision is that everyone in Greater Victoria can experience the transformative power of world-class dance.
