Ivan Flett Memorial Dancers are three siblings from Winnipeg, Manitoba who share a passion for dance, not just any dance it’s all about the Red River Jig!
Michael, Jacob and Cieanna Harris began dancing at the young age of five years old. Michael being the oldest started performing his own solo shows, Jacob followed his brother footprints and they became a duo show, Cieanna enjoyed watching her brothers perform, she learned and they became a trio group and they have been inseparable since then.
They perform traditional dances of the Red River Jig mixed with modern dancing known as the hip hop jig. Through their gift of dance they have had great opportunities to travel the world and they hold numerous achievements and awards.
Their main focus is to attract youth through the rhythm and style of the hip hop jig. They hope to motivate and inspire people of all ages, and bring awareness that their culture is going strong and continues to be ambitious with this dance and music.
Formally known as the Slick and Lil J Show, back in 2012 they lost one of their biggest fans and proud supporter, Grandpa Ivan Flett passed away, it was with great sadness but an honour to rename themselves the Ivan Flett Memorial Dancers. Every dance they do is in honour of him.
Their show wouldn’t be complete without the outfits and they give a huge thank you to their Grandma Dawn Harris-Flett who designs and custom makes all their attire. (Thanks to Designs by Dawn!) IFMD would also like to thank all of their fans and family for their continued love and support.

Metis fiddle and country music
Michael’s journey with the fiddle began at the tender age of 4, marking the start of a lifelong dedication to the instrument. Raised in a family rich in musical tradition, Michael’s passion for the fiddle was nurtured by his grandfather, Alex Carriere, a revered figure in Canadian Métis fiddle music who played the fiddle for an astounding 75 years. Alex’s legacy has left an indelible mark on Michael’s approach to music, instilling a deep appreciation for the craft and a commitment to keeping the tradition alive. Over the years, he has earned recognition as a 3-time Manitoba Country Music’s Specialty Musician of the Year and 3-time Manitoba Fiddle Champion, performing at numerous events across Canada. Beyond music, Michael serves his community as a paramedic in Southern Manitoba, a role he has dedicated himself to for over a decade. Whether on stage or in the studio, his passion for the instrument shines through, keeping the rich traditions of Métis and Canadian fiddle music alive for future generations.
