House Dance is a social, freestyle street dance that grew out of the underground house music scenes of Chicago and New York in the late 1970s and early 1980s. It is defined by fast, intricate footwork, fluid torso movement, and a strong emphasis on improvisation, musicality, and community connection.
Cecchetti Ballet refers to the Cecchetti Method, a classical ballet training system created by Italian ballet master Enrico Cecchetti (1850–1928). It is one of the world’s most respected and codified approaches to ballet technique, known for its precision, purity of line, and progressive, anatomically sound training structure.
CDTA 2027 Ambassador: My name is Georgia Smith. I have been dancing since I was three years old, which basically tells you all you need to know about me as dance is the heart center of my life! I am presently training in every genre at the Melfort Dance Centre and right now preparing for groups, solo’s and duets for competition. When I’m not dancing I love to hangout with friends, take walks around our farm, spend time with family, watch movies and travel as much as possible. I’m really honored and excited to be this year’s CDTA Ambassador and look forward to all that brings. Happy New Year everyone!
