Mandate

“The School of Contemporary Dancers is directed with dedication and integrity by a vastly experienced team of Artistic Directors and Artistic Associates. The artistic direction is robust and is committed to fostering and developing artistic excellence.” – Canadian Heritage Assessor

The mandate of the Professional Program of The School of Contemporary Dancers is to prepare students for careers in contemporary dance performance. In realizing this mandate, the objective is to provide a strong technical and artistic training, which will allow the dancers to perform the diverse movement styles required by different choreographers and companies.

The Program promotes a rich interconnectedness with the professional dance community. The Directors view this as an integral part of providing a vibrant and stimulating environment for the training of future professionals.
