THIRTY SOMETHING DANCE

As one of the founding members, I still remember our first meeting where we floated the idea of creating our own dance show for the Atlantic Fringe Festival in 2005. A group of like-minded dancers missed having a performance outlet because the Halifax Dance adult recreational program (where we all took classes) had decided to no longer put on their annual performance, "Jazz Bliss". We were all obvious "divas" to some degree as we missed being on stage. So that night Thirtysomething Dance Cooperative was "born" and "Dancers With Day Jobs" our first show was in the initial creation phase. Since that first meeting tsdc has seen people come and go, expanded our dance styles, has danced in several venues, has done charity performances, has witnessed many members choreograph beautiful works but also maintain traditions. From our first production, we have always had a theme for each show, have always had a "hinterlude", have always mixed strong dance with more light-hearted humourous pieces..
