Propeller Dance is a mixed ability dance organization providing inclusive, integrated and accessible dance training, education and performance opportunities to people with and without disability. Based in Ottawa, Propeller Dance is co-artistically directed by Renata Soutter & Shara Weaver, and includes a dance company of 8 dancers, and dance training for children, youth and adults, as well as programs for schools. Propeller Dance promotes artistic diversity by removing obstacles that limit access to the performing arts. Each year we reach close to 5000 people through professional performances, touring, and education and outreach programs. Company members include: Bella Bowes, Robert Chartier, Phil Charbonneau, Moni Hoffman, Jessie Huggett, Liz Winkelaar. 

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
