“It’s been an honour to lead Live Art Dance,” Glynn says. “I started dancing late, at 25. I was a professional dancer, toured internationally for 10 years, had my own company for almost 10 years and at this age ‒ I turned 73 in June ‒ to still be working in this business is a true treat.” Glynn leaves his position at Live Art Dance at the end of August but will continue in his role as Artistic Director of Festival of Dance Annapolis Royal . Entering its 10th season, FODAR is Nova Scotia’s only contemporary dance festival.

So, they have several generations of street dancers on stage at the same time.
