The Dance Centre

The Dance Centre on Davie Street in Vancouver is a really amazing place that does so many cool things for the community, as well as the dancers they house. For example, the Dance Centre (which funny enough doesn’t have a specific name, making it sound like the dance centre…the one and only) supports dance professionals through programs, residencies, resources, and many other services that they offer to help them all further their careers on this difficult path they chose. In addition to this, The Dance Centre supports the art of dance as a culture in British Columbia through all the programs they offer, and quite a few of these programs are listed on their website that are available for sign-up for the public, so you can get to experience dance the way the professionals do.

The Dance Centre was established in 1986, originally as a hub for resources for dance professionals as well as the public. Nowadays, not much has changed; they offer a wide range of activities unmatched in Canadian Dance, and put on performances and public events that feature all genres and styles of dance, so if you have a favourite style of dance, it is likely that you’ll be able to find your niche at the Dance Centre! Their mission is to support the growth and livelihood of British Columbia’s dance culture through providing the resources and services that they do for dance as a profession, and their public performances to get everyone excited about dance and bring the community together in an environment where the importance of dance is recognized.

They are currently hosting online workshops and performances that can be accessed through their website, where you can find all the information as to what events they offer, as well as all the essential dates and times, so you don’t miss a show. They are now streaming Sujit Vaidya, a dancer who performs in the South Indian style of dance called bharata natyam. Go check it out as well as the many other shows they offer!
