Research – How DCD Grows
DCD does more than keep Canada’s dance history – we search for it and provide researchers the opportunities and tools to discover stories for themselves, the community, and the collection.
Publishing – Canadian Dance Voices
For almost 40 years DCD has been giving Canadian voices an outlet to share their dance stories. For this summer’s campaign we’re highlighting the core things we do and where your donations go.
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.
