FORT ST. JOHN, B.C. — The region’s competitive dance troupe will hold its annual showcase to end this week.

On Friday, January 23rd, the Peace Fusion Dance Company will host its season nine showcase at the North Peace Cultural Centre.

The company is a competitive team made up of athletes from Studio 2 Stage Dance Academy, Alchemy Dance Collective, Watt’s School of Irish Dance in Fort St. John, Energetic Edge Cheer Association and the Dawson Creek Dance Company.

According to Peace Fusion’s president, Stephanie Baker, 125 performers will grace the stage during the event on Friday evening.
