FLYING INDUCTEES
Each year we honour a select group of individuals from Canada's dance community as inductees into the DCD Hall of Fame. It is, in large part, due to the generous donation of points that we're able to fly the inductees in so that they can receive their prize in person... (DONATE POINTS)

Dance Collection Danse would like to acknowledge that the land on which we work is the traditional territory of the Huron-Wendat, the Anishnaabeg, Haudenosaunee, Métis, and the Mississaugas of the New Credit First Nation. It has been a site of human activity, including dance, for at least 15,000 years and we are grateful to all the caretakers, both recorded and unrecorded, of this land and of Turtle Island. Today, the meeting place of Toronto is still the home to many Indigenous people from across Turtle Island and we are grateful to have the opportunity to work and dance in the community, on this territory.
