The dance collection Danse hall of fame
WE ARE DELIGHTED TO ANNOUNCE THE 2024 HONOUREES
The Dance Collection Danse Hall of Fame launched on March 25, 2018 – a long-overdue celebration of Canada’s premier artists. It was seminal in powerfully validating Dance Collection Danse’s achievements of 35+ years. Now in its sixth iteration, the feedback we continue to receive suggests this event is unlike any other on the Toronto calendar. This year’s event will take place on Sunday, November 10th at the historic Palais Royale Ballroom (1601 Lake Shore Blvd. West, Toronto, Ontario  M6K 3C1)
Help us reach our goal of $20,000!
The 2024 inductees include: Marie Chouinard, O.C., C.Q.; Christopher House, C.M.; David Moroni, C.M.; Frank Augustyn, O.C.; Joey Hollingsworth; Nadia Potts; William J.S. Boyle Dance Luminary Award – Lin Yee Goh & Choo Chiat Goh; Community Builder – Constance V. Pathy, C.M., C.Q., D.Mus.; Trailblazers: Celia Franca, C.C.; Betty Oliphant, C.C.; Grant Strate, C.M., FRSC; Sandra Faire Next Generation Award: Aria Evans.

THE COST
Many costs are associated with producing this landmark event, including inductee travel and lodging, venue, food and beverage, production of videos, and live stream, plus performer fees for our exciting live performance pop-ups! To continue producing a first-rate experience, we are focussing our new campaign on raising funds to offset the costs.
If you have attended a past event or watched the live stream, you will appreciate the importance of celebrating our diverse and storied legacy.
Not only does the DCD Hall of Fame event offer an opportunity to gather from across the country and celebrate Canada’s rich culture as embodied by dance, but it also creates invaluable archival material to be accessed for generations to come!
Stay tuned for announcements for the Miriam Adams Exploration Bursary recipient.
LEGACY GIVING
CREATE YOUR LEGACY
Lois Smith was The National Ballet of Canada’s first prima ballerina. She believed so strongly in the legacy of Canadian dance that she became the first person to make a gift to DCD in her estate plans.
Lois’ inspiring generosity facilitated DCD’s bold move into a new space. This change has in turn boosted our capacity to celebrate and share the remarkable art form that she so loved.
You too can leave a lasting legacy that reflects your passion for dance. Anyone can give Canadian artists a firm footing on the continuum of history by making a gift to DCD through their estate. Regardless of income, you can make a deferred gift without impacting your current lifestyle. Contributing can be as simple as adding a sentence or appendix to your current estate plan.
To learn more about including DCD in your estate plans please contact our Manager of Donor Relations, Vickie Fagan: 416-365-3233 / vickie[AT]dcd[DOT]ca
If you have already named DCD in your estate plans, please let us know so that we can work with you to recognize your extraordinary generosity and commitment to strengthening the legacy of Canadian dance.
