Our Story
Established in 1986 as a resource centre for dance professionals and the public in British Columbia, The Dance Centre is a multifaceted organization offering a range of activities unparalleled in Canadian dance. Our goal is to support the development of a vibrant dance scene in BC and increase the profile of dance, by providing resources and services for dance professionals; presenting public performances and events; operating one of Canada’s flagship dance facilities; and promoting BC dance. We are located on the traditional, ancestral, and unceded territories of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish), and səlilwətaɬ (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations. It is an honour and a privilege for us to be guests in their lands. We are grateful.
