Steppin'

An energetic contemporary Métis jig solo. Driven by the fiddle's undeniable force, the impulse for movement is sparked like a flint that ignites fire.

The jig and fancy steps rebound off the earth, propelled in the direction of spirit, like a horse running in the wild. This act is a celebration of the joy of movement, healing in dance, significance of heritage and love of Métis culture.

Steppin' is conceived and created by Jeanette Kotowich, with sound design by Wayne Lavallee and fiddler JJ Lavallee.
