DanceWorks remains steady in its commitment to presenting dance, supporting artists, and creating opportunities for the public to engage with bold choreographic work.
The 2025/26 season has been shaped by ambitious performances, artist-led learning, and expanded opportunities for people across Toronto to experience dance in ways that are accessible, welcoming, and connected to community.
Through our Signature Series, Dance Days with Harbourfront Centre School Visits, in-school workshops, public talkbacks, performance-related workshops, and free or discounted ticket access through partners including tpl:map, Canoo, and the Canadian Opera Company’s Free Concert Series, DanceWorks has continued to bring artists’ ideas into public life and create new points of entry for audiences to experience dance.
We are grateful to the artists, partners, donors, funders, volunteers, and audience members who have been part of this season. Your support helps sustain the performances, public programs, and relationships that allow DanceWorks to continue presenting dance across Toronto.
