Dancer Survey

Participate in a research study of independent dancers and win a $100 gift card from Starbucks

Shasha Tse, a Masters Student at the University of Toronto/OISE is conducting research on health and substance use among Canadian non-dancers and dancers. The survey takes only 35 minutes to complete:

Do you attend a professional dance program or get paid to dance professionally or have no dance experience? Are you interested to contribute to a study on stress, smoking, and alcohol use among non-dancers and dancers? We would value your participation! We would also enter you into a draw to win a $100 gift card from Starbucks. 

Take the study here or contact Shasha at shasha.tse@mail.utoronto.ca.

and spread the Dance Manifesto

"We declare that DANCE in all its diverse expressions,
is a force for social good and human advancement.
In support of this, we uphold the following principles:
DANCE is an instinctive human birthright and
a lifelong contributor to health and contentment."


Santee Smith, choreographer, dancer and Artistic Director of Kaha:wi Dance Theatre offers her call to action, on behalf of the Canadian Dance Assembly in celebration of International Dance Day 2014: 

"Let dance into your life. Call dance into your life. Breathe dance into your life. Let dance be the connection between your spirit and the living universe. Let dance be the voice of your soulful resistance, your statement of I am here, in this space, now. Let dance resonate from your ancestral memories, from your DNA extending like tendrils to future generations. Call your body forth to move, to speak a language without words. Dance your dreams and poetry. Find that place deep inside your inner landscape that longs for expression. 
Close your eyes and remember the heartbeat rhythm, the first music you heard in your consciousness. Be the witness to a singular body animated in time and space or to the awesomeness of a multitude moving in unity. Let dance represent your metaphor, art, ritual, ceremony and ecstatic transformation. Energize, revitalize and renew yourself through dance. Renew your bond to the rhythms of the earth. Heal yourself, be yourself and together we can dance our humanity. Transform your life...let dance into your life. Join the celebration and ceremony of life; join the dance." 

-Santee Smith, Artistic Director, Kaha:wi Dance Theatre
