Enkhtuya Amarjargal, director of the Amka Dance School, Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia will be flying with Turkish airlines June 30 to participate at Dance World Cup 2024. He initially planned to bring his company, but the long process of obtaining visas to travel to Canada, costs involved, he will travel alone this year, and bring his company next year to Dance World Cup at Fairmont Chateau Whistler Resort June 30 - July 5, 2025. #danceworldcup #5678showtime #amka #mongolia #ulaanbaatarmongolia🇲🇳 #ulaanbaatar #dancer #mongolianfolkdance #traditionalfolkdance #dance #dancecompetition #dancecompetitions #performingartist #internationaldancecouncil _cid #internationaldance

Bon voyage to the team from Trinidad and Tobago that is flying to Montreal tomorrow on June 28 for Dance World Cup. Their 28 member team of dancers, singers, and drummers initially qualified in 2020, but with COVID, fund raising, applications for their visas to travel to Canada, plus support from their government, they are excited for their first visit to Canada. The 13 dancers will participate in the Montreal tour June 30, convention July 1-2, and competition July 3-4 with guest performances in the Closing Ceremonies July 5. #danceworldcup #5678showtime #trinidadandtobago #trinidadandtobago🇹🇹 #trinidad #limbodance #limbo #classicalballet #traditionalfolkdance #dancers #dance #dancecompetition #internationaldancecouncil #contemporarydance #performingartists #performingarts #singers #drummers

It’s all about the face. Dance teachers will tell you to get low in hip hop, or point your feet in ballet, but without the face, you’re boring. Congratulations to all these dancers who communicate with their face. That’s our strongest body language. Of course, we also speak with our hands. Bravo à Faith Nkueze, Flavie Bonin, Gaëlle Kerneis, Lohan Mongeon, Clara Poudre, Elena Pike, Léa Niveu, Meldane Benoît, Zachary Belharbi, and the priceless face of Emma Charbonneau who lost her duo partner, and had to dance a solo for adjudication only. As she says with her hands and face WHATEVER. C’EST LA VIE! #5678showtime #danceworldcup #thedanceworldcup #dancecompetitions #dancecompetition #dancecompetitionseason #dancers #performingarts #performingartists #ppoc #accreditedphotographer #professionalphotographersofamerica #professionalphotographersofcanada

Staring down her audience with eyes focused on her, Daphné Cardinal is draped in earth tones to perform a contemporary piece about the value of nature, a theme heard often at 5678 Showtime dance competitions. Mother Nature does not need us. We need Mother Nature. You can almost hear her words with her open mouth. Félicitations à Daphné Cardinal, Studio de Danse Footsteps qui est invitée à la Coupe du Monde de Danse 2024. #5678showtime #danceworldcup #thedanceworldcup #dancecompetition #dancecompetitions #dancecompetitionseason #contemporarydance #moderndance #lyrical #lyricaldance

Another dancer in her own world enjoying her private moment filled with a capacity crowd. Many photographers delete images when the subject’s eyes are closed. Yet in dance, it is the epitome of absolute consciousness of one’s own body. Only a dancer would understand. Félicitations à Alicia Desjardins, Academie de Danse de Montréal qui est invitée à la Coupe du Monde de Danse 2024. #5678showtime #danceworldcup #thedanceworldcup #dancecompetition #dancecompetitions #dancecompetitionseason #contemporarydance #moderndance #lyricaldance #lyrical #smile #dancemovement

Sometimes a dancer enters into an altered state of awareness seldom appreciated for its simplicity, and effortless transitions even with eyes closed. Ryleigh Mayo is one of those dancers who transcends beyond the physical to an inner passion shared with her audience.
