MEMBERSHIP ELIGIBILITY

What is a "professional artist"? 

CADA-ON recognizes a professional artist as someone who fulfills one or more of the following criteria: 

• has specialized training in the dance field (not necessarily in academic institutions)
• is recognized as such by peers (artists working in the same artistic tradition) 
• has a history of public presentation or publication 
• spends a significant amount of time practicing their art, and seeks payment for their work

All CADA-ON members must be a Canadian Citizen, Permanent Resident or are legally allowed to work in Canada. 

When applying for a CADA-ON membership, a recent bio or resume describing your latest dance projects and/or training is needed for approval. 

If you have further questions about membership criteria, or are unsure if you qualify, please contact Lesley at membership@cada-on.ca.
