New Works: All over the Map Dance Festival - False Creek Things To Do

New Works is a Vancouver based dance company that "really likes dance. A lot." That is according to the New Works website. Their mission statement is:

To produce and present performance events for the public, and to build audiences for diverse dance forms locally, nationally and internationally. To also provide support to emerging, mid-career and senior dance artists and managers of all cultural traditions in the development of their careers. 

New Works is bringing their fun attitude towards dance to Granville Island the next 4 Sundays (at 2pm), and twice in August, with the All Over The Map dance series. All performances take place at Ron Basford Park (beside Performance Works), on the east side of Granville Island.

Here is the schedule:

July 6 World Dance and Music: Silk Road Music and Friends
