Mission Statement
Alberta Dance Theatre aims to provide rehearsal and performance opportunities to dancers in grades 1-12 in Calgary. Dancers engage in a creative process alongside professional artists. Our young company members not only learn to create choreography and gain performance training, but also develop skills such as creative problem solving, healthy risk taking, collaboration, and leadership.
About This Cause
Alberta Dance Theatre provides an outstanding and unique program to dancers in grades 1-12 in Calgary through an intense 12-week program where dancers engage in a creative process alongside professional artists. It is through this educational experience that dancers not only learn to create choreography and gain performance training, but also develop skills such as creative problem solving, healthy risk taking, collaboration, and leadership. Our youth led initiatives allow young people to learn how to advocate for themselves, their ideas, and their communities. Through expressing themselves through dance, theatre and in the creative process we see dancers grow into confident young people able to take their learned skills to other areas of their life. Each season Alberta Dance Theatre strives to achieve artistic excellence in their annual production. We are honoured to continue the 41 year tradition of inspiring and imaginative family entertainment. Every year Alberta Dance Theatre performs throughout the Calgary community sharing the company’s love of storytelling through movement with all ages and multiple venues, including public performances, seniors homes, and local festivals. Tickets to the professionally designed theatrical production are donated annually to families in need. Alberta Dance Theatre offers scholarship opportunities to dancers who have a passion for performing. Scholarship recipients are chosen through an annual application process. Our auditions to the company are not based on dance skill or experience but rather an eagerness to participate in a creative process as a valued member of our dance community. As a small but mighty arts organization we have ambitious goals to spread the word about us to Calgary area dancers, provide quality workshops and rehearsals, and design outstanding productions.
