Watershed is a transformative dance camp designed exclusively for Indigenous youth aged 12 to 16.
This 10-week program will explore different dance styles such as contemporary, Powwow, hip-hop, hoop and more! We’ll create an exciting youth-led project, culminating in a performance on a real stage. This experience will offer participants a unique opportunity to showcase their talents and creativity in a professional setting. If you’re looking for a fun and creative opportunity to have a blast and help put on a phenomenal end-of-year show, while making new friends… this is for you!
Watershed strives to create a safe space for Indigenous youth to explore the performing arts. The program encourages the participation of 2-spirit, trans, non-binary and gender-diverse youth. All teachers and dancers participating in this program are Indigenous.

The INDex was created to support First Nations, Inuit and Métis in Tiohtià:ke/Montreal in finding relevant and up-to-date information on services that were created specifically for them. Our goal is to promote cultural safety and community connectedness.
If you are an Indigenous person living, moving to or visiting Tiohtià:ke, the INDex can support you in your steps!
