The Dance Centre will present a full program of performances and events featuring a diverse range of artists for the 2021-2022 season. This season also celebrates the 20th anniversary of the opening of Scotiabank Dance Centre, which will be marked with special programming during the year.

All performances and events will be presented with COVID-19 protocols in line with public health advisories, to keep audiences, artists, staff and volunteers as safe as possible. Tickets will go on sale closer to the time of each performance.

“This is a very special season for us, not just because we hope to see our audiences in person, but also because we celebrate the 20th anniversary of our home for dance, Scotiabank Dance Centre, as we focus on the future,” says Mirna Zagar, The Dance Centre’s Executive Director. “What began as a dream so long ago is now a vibrant arts hub. It has had such a tremendous impact on our city, on BC, and on Canadian dance. We are looking forward so much to sharing dance with our audiences, in our beautiful building, once again.”
