Dance Victoria (formerly Victoria Dance Series) is a subscription series of classical and contemporary dance serving Southern Vancouver Island. The company presents about 20 performances of six or seven Canadian and international dance companies. Additionally, Dance Victoria is engaged in comprehensive community outreach programs which include free workshops, lecture demonstrations and community dance projects.
The company hosts an extended creative residency each year that provides selected companies with the opportunity to develop new work while engaging with the local community. Dance Victoria sometimes commissions new work through the CanDance Creation Fund.
