The Boom Has Us Bursting
The Boom has us bursting
Because dance was the fastest growing art form in Canada during the 1970s, 50 years later, DCD is facing the greatest demand in our history to care for the archival materials of the artists from the 1970s dance boom.
We need your help to preserve the legacies of Canada’s dance community. Please consider donating today.
