Coordinated by Cultural Liaison Officer, Dustin Strongarm, the program provided a two day workshop as an "in-school" dance and cultural learning opportunity within the City of Saskatoon. The workshops targeted children not presently participating in an organized dance program. The program emphasized cross cultural awareness and students were exposed to First Nations spirituality, traditional drumming and various forms of First Nations dance. The participants also experienced a performance opportunity in front of their peers. This was the program highlight hosted by St. Frances School.

St. Frances School administrators are eager to expand on this program and bring in additional facilitators in a variety of different dance forms in the upcoming year.
