The Glowing Hearts and Kia Kadiri segments of the Olympic Torch Relay Celebration.

Olympic Torch Relay Celebration
Friday, October 30, 2009
Victoria Legislature Lawn

The flame arrived in Victoria from Athens, Greece on October 30, 2009 to begin its Journey across Canada and back to open the 2010 Olympic Winter Games. 125 dancers from STAGES Performing Arts School, students from the community, and 100 Unity Drummers lit up the night in an incredible performance called “Glowing Hearts”.

The segment included performers with lit red umbrellas who formed a glowing heart around First Nations Unity Drummers. STAGES Dancers in elaborate, Emily Carr inspired bird costumes were lit with white lights, and runners with blue glowing sticks helped to build the excitement as Jeneece Endroff entered the Legislature grounds with the flame. At last, the caldron was lit to music, fanfare and fireworks.

STAGES dancers dressing in all white, stole the show grooving on stage with Victoria Hip Hop artist Kia Kadiri. The whole performance was a huge success, and the students came away with pride, excitement, and an overwhelming sense of accomplishment.
