Valley’s own Chelsea Kane making big impression in “Dancing with the Stars”

❤️ Community Conversations at Tyrsa Ukrainian Dance School's Garage Sale! 🎤 Gina from Rise Through Rhythm at danceScape chats with a volunteer from Lisa Kearns' campaign for Mayor of Burlington, sharing why she chose to get involved. We've also had the pleasure of connecting with two other mayoral candidates, Marianne Meed Ward and Rory Nisan, during the launch of the eat.make.share. - A Taste of Immigration Exhibit at Museums of Burlington, where danceScape was the Activation partner with @museumsburlon. Marianne shared a welcome message to introduce the exhibit, while Rory reflected on his personal connection to the Museums of Burlington, where his mother once worked. 🎥 You can find highlights of these conversations a few months ago on our danceScape Facebook and Instagram pages! While we haven't yet had the opportunity to connect with the other mayoral candidates, Keith Demoe and Yugalkeesor Ramdhonee, we appreciate everyone who steps forward to contribute their time, ideas and energy toward Burlington's future. At danceScape, we believe in bringing people together, celebrating different perspectives and encouraging meaningful community participation. ❤️ 🗳️ Burlington Municipal Election — Monday, October 26, 2026 We encourage everyone to learn more about all candidates, explore their backgrounds and priorities, and make their own informed decisions. 🔗 Official City of Burlington candidate information: https://myvote.burlington.ca/for-voters/list-of-candidates/ Different Perspectives.

50 Years — Celebrated with Music, Dance & Friendship ❤️🎶 What better way to celebrate Doris & Alfred’s Golden Anniversary than with a live band, French jazz and swing, and a dance floor filled with family and friends? The wonderful @julietdunnjazz and Le Trio Parisien brought the sounds of France to Hart House, creating the perfect setting for an evening inspired by Doris & Alfred’s love of Paris — and, of course, their love of dancing. But looking around the dance floor, we were reminded that this celebration was about something more. Among the guests were members of our dance community and classmates who have become friends over many years — especially through Ballroom Open Variations. We’ve danced together, laughed together and, along the way, shared weddings, anniversaries, losses, new beginnings and so many other life milestones. That's one of the beautiful things about dance. We may first meet because we want to learn some steps. But somewhere along the way, classmates become friends, and friends become part of each other's lives. How wonderful to see so many of those friendships gathered together to celebrate Doris & Alfred and 50 years of life, love and adventure. ❤️ And then…the band played, and everyone danced. 💃🕺🎷 #GoldenAnniversary #FriendshipThroughDance #BallroomDancing #FrenchJazz #EmbraceTheAdventure

Their First Dance… 50 Years Later ❤️ When Doris & Alfred were married 50 years ago, they never had a formal First Dance. So at their Golden Anniversary celebration, after renewing their vows, they finally had their moment. ✨ They chose Charles Aznavour’s “For Me… Formidable” — a playful French-English love song that seemed perfect for two people with such a love for Paris and France. Their dance blended Foxtrot with Jive/Swing — and perhaps the most memorable part wasn't about getting every step perfect. Because sometimes, even the best dancers can suddenly go blank. And while Alfred went blank, Doris stayed with him. What matters is what happens next. Doris & Alfred stayed focused on each other. They kept moving, worked together, found their way back — and never stopped. In many ways, it felt like a reflection of the two people we have come to know over the years: determined, resilient, a team…and very much in love. Perhaps that's also a little lesson from 50 years of marriage. You won't always know exactly what comes next. Sometimes you simply stay connected, keep going, and figure it out together. Doris & Alfred — a First Dance, 50 years in the making. You made us proud. ❤️🥂 With Video Clips from Selina Tang-Brudnicki. #GoldenAnniversary #50thWeddingAnniversary #FirstDance #WeddingDance #Foxtrot Jive Formidable EmbraceTheAdventure

50 Years of Love - Doris & Alfred ❤️ What an honour to celebrate Doris Chiu & Alfred on their 50th Wedding Anniversary at beautiful Hart House at the University of Toronto. We’ve known Doris and Alfred since around 2010. What began through a real estate connection grew into a wonderful friendship with them and their family. Last August, that friendship took us all the way to Paris. 🇫🇷 It was our first visit, and there was something very special about experiencing the city through the eyes of two people who love it so much. One of the highlights was visiting Versailles — a place especially close to Doris and Alfred’s hearts. Each year, they return to immerse themselves in another time, dressing in the elegance of the era of Louis XIV. So for their 50th Anniversary, we brought a little bit of Versailles to Hart House. ✨ And this time, we had the privilege of sharing another one of our loves with them — dance. Congratulations, Doris & Alfred, on 50 remarkable years together. Thank you for your friendship, the memories, the adventures…and for reminding us that there are always new experiences to embrace together.
