Misty Wensel

Misty Wensel’s dance practice flows from a place of exploration; impromptu responses to DJ mixes, social interactions, and an ongoing curiosity through organic expression.

Misty (Uof R/ B.Ed in Dance), has been sharing her craft with students and peers for two decades. In 2004, Misty established FadaDance, a contemporary dance studio, the first of its kind in Regina, SK. Since then, she has had the opportunity to train and inspire dancers of all ages, while creating a platform for students that is truly unique. Misty’s work with students and The FadaDance Youth Company has taken her to stages across Canada, and as far as India, Denmark, Taiwan, Brazil and Jamaica.

Misty is a co-founder of Regina-based FadaDance Troupe.  Dancing with the troupe informs her creative spirit, while affording her the opportunity to create inquisitive works of contemporary dance.  Most recently the Troupe presented Holloway - both as a site-specific dance performance in the Qu’Appelle Valley (2022) and at the Darke Hall theatre (2023).  Currently FadaDance Troupe is creating a land-based dance film, ‘Weight of Our Feet.’  

As a solo artist, Misty is recognized for her Kathak infused work in contemporary dance.  This ever-evolving body of work is deeply supported through mentorship and opportunity offered by Joanna de Souza of M-Do Toronto.  Much of this work came to fruition in the work Bardo which toured India in 2018.
