Do you want to connect to the national dance
community? Then this is the perfect opportunity! From September 23-25, dance professionals
from across the country will convene in Toronto for the Canadian
Dance Assembly's (CDA) 5th national conference, Planning for
Change: Creating a Dynamic Future for Dance. You won't want to miss this opportunity to profile
yourself at this unique gathering of important individuals and
organizations within Canada’s diverse dance community. CDA’s
national conference attracts over 150 artists, presenters,
educators, and researchers from all major urban centres in Canada,
as well as internationally. It is recognized as an important
community building event that brings dance professionals and
cultural programmers together to discuss issues affecting the
sector. This year’s event will run in tandem with The
CanDance Networks’ annual meetings and a new exciting initiative -
the Ontario Dance Platform. The Ontario Dance Platform is a curated
program of dance performances, events, and presentations that will
showcase an ever expanding range and diversity of professional dance
in Ontario. The Platform, coordinated by CCI – Ontario’s Presenting
Network, will be held at Dancemakers Centre for Creation — Main
Studio and Toronto Dance Theatre — Winchester Street Theatre.
The events being produced over the September 23rd
weekend contribute greatly to this vitality and the overall health
of our dance community depends on gatherings such as these. Sponsorship levels range from $75 to $750.
Additionally, this year we are offering a unique logo placement
opportunity on our conference pouches for $1,000. All
conference participants will be wearing this pouch throughout the

A membership based, National Arts Service Organization with charitable status, The Canadian Dance Assembly was formed in 2002 to facilitate the dynamic exchange of information relevant to Canadian professional dance of all forms and aesthetics, to cultivate a strong national voice for Canadian professional dance, and to support the development of resources for this field of artistic expression. At its inception the CDA faced a diverse and fragmented dance community, which had not been served by an encompassing national service organization for almost 15 years. Over the last seven years, despite many challenges, the organization has established itself as an essential contributor to the development of the dance and culture sectors. It has effectively developed both its mandate and strategic directions, served the community successfully, and built its membership and profile. The CDA is now entering a period of maturity and national leadership that will benefit not only its many members, but also the entire dance milieu and its partners in the arts and culture sector.
