DanceHouse in the Community

Speaking of Dance Pre-Show Talks 

Join us at the theatre for the Speaking of Dance conversation with an artist or representative from the visiting company at select performances. Check on the event page to see whether the performance you attend will feature one of these talks. This is an excellent opportunity to gain insight into the presentation you are about to experience.

All dates, times, and guests, will be announced on the relevant show-specific page.

Masterclasses 

Each time DanceHouse brings a company into town, it comes with perks for the Vancouver community! DanceHouse engages visiting companies and artists in a series of local masterclasses, reaching beyond the stage and directly into the studio. Join a DanceHouse masterclass and learn directly from the exceptional artists you are about to see on stage!

Each masterclass is presented through community partnerships. Partners include Arts Umbrella, Harbour Dance Centre, and Lamondance Training and Performing Company, among others.

Upcoming masterclasses can be found here.

Post-Show Social 

Join us following a Friday performance at the Vancouver Playhouse for the Post-Show Social. This is your chance to meet and chat with the artists and members of the company who performed, while also getting to know members of the DanceHouse team and board of directors. Everyone is welcome.

15X15 Young Adult Tickets

DanceHouse believes that young people in our community should have more access to the arts, which is why we created our 15X15 Young Adult ticket program, which provides discounted tickets to young adults, who have low income, at each performance. Learn more here.
