Where is the crowd coming from? Alberta is bringing a massive home-team crowd of 177 dancers! 32 of our neighbours are crossing the mountains from BC, and 13 proud party animals are repping Saskatchewan. The Pony Express has reached Manitoba and Yukon, with 2 responding from each of those areas. Rest of Canada? You’re missing a heck of a party!
