th

47 Annual Dance Recital Wednesday, June 3, 2026 6:30 P.M. Centennial Concert Hall

We are grateful to practice our art on Treaty One land, the traditional territory of the Anishinaabeg, Cree, OjiCree, Dakota, and Dene peoples, and the homeland of the Métis Nation.

We acknowledge that our water is sourced from Shoal Lake 40 First Nation. We stand with the Indigenous community and commit an ongoing process of reconciliation and collaboration.

Director's Note Welcome to the 47th Annual Recital of Kids Etc Youth Movement Company.

As I sit down to write this, I find myself feeling incredibly grateful; grateful for another wonderful season, grateful for our dedicated staff and families, and most of all, grateful for the remarkable young people who fill our studio with energy, passion, creativity, and heart.

This year, our dancers have reminded us what it means to work hard, support one another, and pursue their goals with determination. They have celebrated successes, pushed through challenges, built friendships, gained confidence, and created memories that will last a lifetime.

The growth we have witnessed - both on and off the stage - has been truly inspiring.

To our dancers; I could not be more proud of you. Your commitment, resilience, kindness, and love of dance continue to amaze me. Whether this is your first recital or your fifteenth, know that you are an important part of the KEYMC family, and each of you contributes something special to our community.

To our parents and families, thank you for your endless support, encouragement, and trust.

Thank you for the rides, the costumes, the late nights, and for sharing your children with us. We appreciate you more than words can express.

And to our incredible faculty, staff, volunteers, and teaching assistants - thank you for the countless hours you dedicate to helping our dancers learn, grow, and thrive.

Tonight is a celebration of an extraordinary season and the wonderful people who made it possible. I hope you enjoy every moment.

With love and gratitude, Rheesa Schachter
