Dennis Whitford is hoping to provide both a "spiritual (and) physical type of growth" to the 20 or so youngsters who take traditional dance instruction from him.

Said Whitford, who learned the moves from Treaty 7 people around Calgary, "Dancing is a very rewarding, enriching experience for myself and I'd like to have the children have the opportunity to have that experience."
