“A Timeless Art” shares traditional Cape Breton step dance through storytelling, visual arts, and mentorship. Dawn Beaton of Mabou and Jenny MacKenzie of Mabou Coal Mines are co-directors of the program, which has been operating for a few years and was created during the pandemic. Funding has been provided through various means, such as the Canada Council for the Arts and the Office of Gaelic Affairs. A Timeless Art promotes Cape Breton step dancing and its role in the local Gaelic community.
