Guelph Dance aims to engage and enthral. We strive to be a nationally-recognized leader in contemporary dance by offering a platform for professional, new-generation, and youth dance artists to share their vision, push creative boundaries, and engage community audiences. We strive to foster an appreciation for dance in youth by presenting workshops directly in public schools and by giving local youth exposure to professional dance artists. To ensure financial accessibility, we provide affordable ticket pricing to performances and a variety of free events for people of all ages. To strengthen community relations, we partner with other local festivals and continually seek opportunity for co-productions. To broaden cultural accessibility, we are developing programs for at-risk groups who are financially, socially or physically challenged. We thoughtfully curate our programming to ensure high quality, innovative and culturally diverse works that represent the eclectic blend of dance being produced in Canada.
