HISTORY
Orchesis Dance Society is a non-profit fundraising body committed to the support of activities formerly run by the Orchesis Dance Program, founded by Dorothy Harris at the University of Alberta. ODS supports both production of a dance performance, historically known as Dance Motif, and the development of its dancers with respect to technique, experience and involvement in dance in the broader community. ODS was formed in 2011 in response to a change in the management of the dance program within the University of Alberta.
ODS focuses on offering professional quality performance and choreographic opportunities to all post-secondary students, Orchesis alumni and members of the community who have a desire to dance, regardless of previous experience. Orchesis has contributed to life at the University of Alberta in one form or another for over 50 years - Motif Moves 2023 will be the 58th concert.
