At DJD we are so lucky to have many wonderful women on our team, empowering and guiding each other every day. An inspiring example, one of our Founders, Vicki Adams Willis, won the 2021 Lieutenant Governor of Alberta Distinguished Artist Award for her work in transforming Calgary’s jazz dance scene.
Following the award the Lieutenant Governor of Alberta Arts Awards Foundation provided $3,000 to each of our 2021 Distinguished Artists which they could gift to an artist of their choice. Vicki awarded the gift to Lisa LaTouche who we are so lucky to have working with the DJD company dancers on choreography for the upcoming Family of Jazz.
