The power of dance

Deyan Yankov is a full-time medical radiation technologist at Queensway Carleton Hospital who has discovered a great way to achieve work-life balance.

You can see Deyan in the red jacket in the centre of the image above.

For over 20 years, he has been part of a dance ensemble and traveled across Canada and the USA to different multicultural festivals with over five hundred dancers of all ages. The venues and fellow dancers are varied.

“I’ve been part of a dance community for most of my life. It has helped me so much while going through difficult moments. It provides me with a sense of belonging and helps with stress relief – not to mention the physical and mental benefits!”

If you want to learn more about the benefits of being part of a dance club community, contact Deyan to join his vibrant folk-dance club in Ottawa. Rehearsals will take place Sunday afternoons at the Bronson Center. You can also see this style of dance on YouTube.
