DANCE MIGRATION
 

Since its inception in 2007, Dance Migration began as an idea to share the inspiration that Brazil gave to Artistic Director Adrianna Yanuziello. Having left Canada to continue her studies and exploration in her dance field she was captivated by the spirit and energy of the Brazilian

culture. Dance Migration formed by gathering together fellow dance friends in Toronto to share a little bit of Adrianna’s discovery. The company today has blossomed having produced full-length dance works in some of Toronto’s most prestigious theatres. Recent shows include GAIA, Terra Brasil and Os Elementos at Fleck Dance Theatre. The company also performs at the corporate
level being featured in Toronto’s top festivals. Dance Migration has gained international recognition, having performed throughout the Netherlands, Brazil, Ecuador, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Belgium, Canada and the USA.
