TAP – TRINA JOSDAL
Trina Josdal, originally from Moose Jaw, SK, found her passion for tap dancing under the guidance of Barb Jackman during her early years. Influenced by a dance philosophy grounded in the essence of jazz music and a deep appreciation for swing rhythms, Trina undertook a transformative journey in 2002, relocating to New York City. Fully dedicated to the pursuit of her passion for tap dance, this marked a significant chapter in her artistic journey.
Amidst a European tour with “Magic of the Dance,” Trina had the privilege of collaborating with exceptional tap dancers, exposing her to the historical tapestry of the art form. A pivotal moment came about when she discovered an audition for the esteemed musical “42nd Street,” directed by Marc Bramble, in Toronto. Seizing the opportunity, Trina made her inaugural visit to the city that would eventually become her home.
Subsequent to the conclusion of the “42nd Street” Asian tour, Trina Josdal made Toronto her permanent residence, where she currently resides with her family. Her dream of giving back to the community as an instructor, creator, and performer has become a reality, allowing her to continue her artistic journey.
Trina, together with co-creator Amy Lintunen, lead Vintage Taps—a tap dance company with a background of meaningful projects. A notable highlight for Vintage Taps was crafting the original tap dance musical “The Laundry List,” which played to sold-out shows and won the Spirit of Fringe award in 2019. Recently, they hosted tap dance legend Jane Goldberg from NYC in Toronto for a weekend of workshops and documentaries and produced the original show “Jane Goldberg: Tales of a Tap Goddess.” Vintage Taps has also curated numerous Speakeasy shows, highlighting the captivating connection between tap dancing and jazz music.

BALLET – DEBBIE WILSON
Debbie Wilson began her professional dance career at the age of 12 with the Cincinnati Ballet Company, where she became a soloist and one of the company’s rehearsal assistants. Leaving the ballet world, she worked for The
American Dance Machine, touring Japan and the USA as the company’s dance captain/performer.
In 1980 she moved to Canada to become the rehearsal director/dancer of Les Ballets Jazz de Montréal. Debbie went on to work with Howard Richard & Dancers, the Judith Marcuse Repertory Dance Company, the Randy Glynn Dance Project, Ballet Jörgen and many independent choreographers across Canada and the United States.
As a choreographer, she created a repertoire of critically acclaimed productions including Aphrodite Unveiled, Raphael is whispering, and Homo Office Sapiensis, which in 2002 received a Dora Mavor Moore nomination for Outstanding New Choreography. In October 2005, Wilson was honoured to be invited to present Planetarium at the United Nations Assembly Hall in Geneva, Switzerland, as one of the events celebrating the 60th Anniversary of the United Nations.
Since 2009, Debbie has been focusing on two elements of dance. One is mentoring female dance artists who have been developing their own unique choreographic voices including Lua Shayenne, Roshanak Jaberi, Victoria Mata Soledad and Esie Mensah. And the second is deconstructing alignment-based techniques (ballet, Horton and yoga) to their functional elements which allows a
greater range of body types to safely tackle these physical forms.
