The Dance Centre presents a program of vibrant events celebrating the art of dance for International Dance Day on April 27 & 29, 2025.

Highlights include Vanessa Goodman’s innovative stairs-inspired project between the landings, a film examining a landmark project by Karen Jamieson Dance, an ensemble work by Dance//Novella, and more.

Initiated in 1982 by UNESCO, International Dance Day is marked annually on April 29 with events across Canada and around the world. The date commemorates the birthday of Jean-Georges Noverre (1727-1810), regarded as the founder of modern ballet.
