http://www.chebucto.ns.ca/Culture/BluenoseJugglers/bluenose.html
The Bluenose Jugglers
History
Although juggling and the circus arts do not have a long history in Nova Scotia, this seedling is definitely sprouting! The origins of our club are in a small group of jugglers, unicyclists, mimes and tightrope walkers who began to meet in 1982 under the auspices of Portable Mime Theatre . For the next several years jugglers continued to gather under the 'Juggle Jam' banner to teach each other new tricks and work together on routines. In time local performing groups like Fool's Paradise Jest in Time and Just Us grew from these gatherings. These days the club meets under the auspices of the YMCA and is know as the Bluenose Jugglers
Visitors to the Club
Over the years the club has played host to many prominent teacher's and performers including the internationally acclaimed clown Bob Berkey , circus teacher Hovey Burgess , mime Don Reider , author Richard Dingman and others.
Circus Stars
Many internationally famous performing jugglers have visited Halifax and have been hosted by the club. These include Sergei Ignatov Vycheslav Anokhin Victor Filipovitch Evgenii Biljauer ... Andrei Nikolaev , Gennadi Tregoub, and Valerii Tabenkov all of whom have been in Nova Scotia in different travelling companies of the Moscow Circus, Elena Lev who came with the Cirque du Soleil, and Li Li-ping, a marvellous antipodist who came as part of the

45. Pomorze Polish Folkdance Ensemble
Halifax, nova scotia, Canada
http://www.chebucto.ns.ca/Culture/BluenoseJugglers/pomorze.html
POMORZE
POLISH FOLKDANCE ENSEMBLE
Pomorze, Nova Scotia's Polish Folkdance Ensemble, was born in 1983. During the last several years the ensmeble has been "dormant" however, it has recently started up again and rehearsals are once again in progress. See the information below on how to get involved. During its past incarnation, Pomorze grew from a small group of enthusiasts to a well-organized company with a full repertoire. During that time Pomorze gave over one hundred fifty performances at occasions such as the Polish Dance Festival of the Americas in both Boston and Montreal, the Canadian Polish Dance Festival in Toronto, the Seventh and Eighth International Festival of Polish Folkdance Ensembles in Rzeszow, Poland, the Canada Games Festivities in Cape Breton, the visit of His Holiness Pope John-Paul II in Halifax, The Nova Scotia International Tattoo, the first annual 'A Day in Poland' celebrations, and many multicultural events and celebrations. Pomorze's performances in Poland earned them the Medal of Honour from amongst the fifty-five companies from eleven countries who participated. Pomorze also produced two half hour television programs for Halifax Cablevision entitled Zabawa - Poland Dances Pomorze's costume collection is one of the best of its kind in Canada with six complete colourful sets of eight men's and women's costumes for the dances in the repertoire. All the costumes are authentic folk costumes, for the most part made in their respective regions of Poland. The collection also includes smaller numbers of costumes from other regions. The original music to which the dances are performed was scored for eight instruments and recorded by local musicians.

Evangeline Trail

T he Acadians are descendants of approximately 100 French families who settled along the shores of the Baie francaise (now the Bay of Fundy) during the 17th century. A distinct Acadian culture gradually evolved. The Acadians fished and farmed, and claimed valuable farmlands from the bay by building dykes. A sense of community life and independence grew as they worked together to survive. By 1750, the population of Acadia had exceeded 10,000. I n was not long, however, before the Acadians were embroiled in the French-British territorial disputes. In 1755, fearing that the Acadians would support the French, the British government demanded that they sign an unconditional oath of allegiance to the Crown. Most refused, wishing to remain neutral. The infamous Acadian Expulsion resulted. From 1755, over 8,000 Acadians were deported to New England, to the southern colonies and to Europe (France and England). T he Acadians were allowed to return to Nova Scotia in 1764. However, the fertile lands they had worked were now occupied by other settlers. Since the British would not allow the Acadians to form large settlements, they gradually settled along the various remote coastal regions of the province.
