About
DCD’s activities offer opportunities to understand, investigate and experience the legacies of dance in Canada – an art form fed by the unique talents of the country’s dance artists. Through providing programs to study, view, discover and explore the many dimensions of dance from coast to coast and from all genres of the art form, DCD’s archival collections, website, film screenings, virtual and live exhibitions, publications and events give the general public and the arts community a stimulating encounter with the dynamic past and expanding future of Canadian dance.

UN Sustainable Development Goals
-
Good health and well-being
Dance Collection Danse is at once an arts organization, an educational outlet, and a public archive. Our goal is to serve the public with information about Canada’s cultural heritage – something valued by Canadians and others globally. To this end we are in place to promote well-being for everyone at all ages.
-
Quality education
Our goal is to serve the public with information about Canada’s cultural heritage – something valued by Canadians and others globally. To this end we are in place to promote well-being for everyone at all ages – spreading knowledge and lifelong learning opportunities for all.
-
Reduced inequalities
We are open to the public in person and are actively engaged to take the resources of our organization to the public online. Beginning in 2020 and extending to 2022, with an investment of over $375,000 we are developing the Digital Collection of Canadian Dance (DCCD), making public not only digital information from our own collection, but of those from scores of other organizations across Canada – including civic archives, practicing artists, and universities. This ensures inclusive and equitable quality education and the promotion of lifelong learning opportunities for all – including women and girls.
-
Partnerships for the goals
In all our work and particularly with the DCCD, we allow information to penetrate into remote centres – designing it in such a way that users in rural areas with suboptimal online access will benefit. In particular we will focus on needs of Indigenous in Canada, including information guided and informed by the voices of Indigenous scholars, artists and traditional knowledge holders. These conscious actions serve SDG 17 by reducing inequalities to access to information by giving voice to the unattached.
