Ticket Information

Yes we offer subscriptions to our Global Dance Connections and our Discover Dance! series.

Yes, tickets can be purchased in person at the front desk using credit/debit or cash (exact amount only).

Groups: Group rates are available for eight or more people in advance only from 604.606.6412. Early booking is advised for groups. Tickets must be booked and paid for at the same time for the same show: we cannot add or remove tickets from a booking after it has been made.

Seniors: Individuals must be 65+ years of age to qualify for the senior’s discount.

Members: Dance Centre members must show a valid membership card.

These discounts apply to that individual ONLY (not their friends!) and may not be available for certain shows such as partnership presentations.

We are unable to admit latecomers once a show has started. Due to the layout of our theatre, it’s potentially dangerous for the performers as well as disruptive for other audience members if patrons enter while a performance is in progress.

We cannot offer refunds or exchanges to patrons who arrive late for a show, or who have booked for a different show in error.

Allow plenty of time to travel to the venue, find parking, and pick up your tickets. Parking in the area is limited.

All ticket sales are final. Subscribers may move their booking to a different night of the same show at no charge.

Yes! You can buy digital gift cards for a loved one (or yourself!) which can be applied to tickets to performances presented by The Dance Centre. Click here to order.

Some shows may not be eligible if they are ticketed by a presentation partner, ask for details.

We ask parents and guardians to use their discretion in choosing to bring a child; if a child is unable to sit quietly throughout the performance and disturbs other patrons, an usher will ask them and the accompanying adult to leave.

In general, our presentations are not suitable for children under twelve years of age. Some shows contain mature content and we will post advisories on our website where required. If you wish to enquire about the age suitability of a particular show, please contact us.

All patrons including children require a ticket. We are unable to admit babes in arms.

Exceptions apply to the Discover Dance! series and other events that are specified as suitable for all ages or family friendly.
