This is a recording of a LIVE broadcast. You may need to skip ahead 10-15 minutes into the recording to view the actual program.
Krystle Pederson is a traditional jigger and Métis dance instructor. She will lead students through the Red River Jig and discuss the history of the Métis people. Krystle will engage students through a presentation, demonstrations, and student practice. Students will be introduced to both types of jigging (basic and double) and also how to express one’s self through fancy steps. Krystle will also demonstrate and share her belief in the importance of community and working together. Both boys and girls will be encouraged to personalize their movements. The main objective is to learn rhythm and timing and how to move to fiddle music.
