If you’re in the Carlton and Yonge neighbourhood, feel free to drop into the DCD office to see one of Blanche Lund’s dresses from the 1950s. Our office entranceway is currently displaying a small exhibit about Alan and Blanche Lund that had been on display in the Community Exhibits Program at Queen’s Park.
DCD encourages its followers and supporters to take time to recognize the history and contributions of First Nations, Inuit, and Métis peoples from across what is now Canada.
DON’T MISS THE PARTY! Tickets for the 2024 Hall of Fame celebration are now on sale! Join us as we honour the best in Canadian dance.
Grant Strate’s choreography brought an original Canadian perspective and a contemporary aesthetic to the repertoire of the National Ballet, but his contribution as an educator and nurturer of choreographic talent has been even more important for the development of Canadian dance.
He was resident choreographer and a leading dancer with Toronto Dance Theatre (TDT) from 1979-2020, with 26 years as the company’s artistic director. He created over 60 works for TDT, opened the repertoire to new and diverse voices, and developed programs in education and support for young choreographers.
