Dance Collection Danse

Dance Collection Danse is a national arts organization that safeguards Canada’s dance archives and artifacts and disseminates this history through its varied programs. A unique organization straddling the performing arts, museum, and archival communities, DCD offers the opportunity to understand, investigate, and experience the legacies of dance in Canada. In addition to managing Canada’s largest collection of dance materials, DCD shares dance heritage internationally through virtual and live exhibits, screenings, lectures, workshops, education, catalogues, an annual magazine, book publishing, and by supporting research. DCD celebrates Canada’s dance legacies annually through the Dance Collection Danse Hall of Fame. DCD DIGITAL is an ongoing project that will ultimately lead to full online access to DCD’s collection as well as dance materials from individuals, and arts and heritage organizations.
