Education

Zata Omm Dance Projects provides classes, workshops, seminars and dance oriented programs. We Offer opportunities for students to study and learn various contemporary dance techniques.

In addition to providing dance performances in public spaces, community centres, educational facilities etc. We also provide customized workshops.

Contemporary dance pieces will be created in liaison with groups at such educational, cultural or care facilities with the focus being on student participation. In this capacity Zata Omm Dance Projects will act as a facilitator and educator in the personal, social and artistic development of these centers.

Zata Omm provides ballet and contemporary classes for other touring dance companies performing in Canada. We provided classes for Matthew Bourne's New Adventures 'Edward Scissorhands' at Hummingbird Centre. Our teachers include Cindy Macedo (Ballet), Johanna Bergfeldt (Contemporary) and William Yong (Contemporary).

William Yong has taught contemporary technique classes and workshops for the Theatre Rusticle summer intensive, 509 Dance Collective, GMD open classes, Toronto Dance Theatre, McMaster University, York University, the Hong Kong Academy for performing Arts and L'école de danse de Québec.

William Yong has also been invited by Dancer's Transition Resource Centre 'On The Move' conferences and Lululemon Athletica 'the athletic apparel company', to provide talks and seminars on setting and achieving goals for dance artists.
