Dance Collection Danse

DCD, a Toronto-based, non-profit charitable corporation, celebrated its 30th anniversary in 2016. As the guardian of our country’s largest dance collection, DCD exists for the purposes of research, education and celebration of the history of the dance arts in Canada. It is the only organization in the country with this mandate. DCD is multi-dimensional and encompasses: a museum, archives, resource centre, educationprogram and publishing house. Ongoing activities emanate from its expansive collection of dance-related materials dating from the late-19th century to the present. Artists and organizations across the country have entrusted their treasured archives to DCD so that worldwide and in perpetuity, Canadian dance history can be uncovered, understood and celebrated. Through its research facility, publishing projects, virtual and live exhibits, film screenings, public talks, workshops and educational opportunities for youth, DCD’s collection is continually shared.
