Young Lungs Dance Exchange is a network of support for Winnipeg’s independent dance artists. Through an exchange of skills and resources we’ve made possible a number of initiatives including class for the professional community, weekly improvisation jams and performances, evenings of new work by emerging Winnipeg choreographers, annual fund-raisers, and collaborations with other artists in the city. The structure of our organization means that artists can be involved in any way that interests them. It also means no one has to go it alone. There are a lot of astounding artists in Winnipeg. Young Lungs helps make it possible for them to come together in new and creative ways.
