A leading touring company, CCDT has introduced over 300,000 young people to dance through its Ontario Arts Access program, and won the Toronto Arts Foundation’s prestigious Arts for Youth Award for its development of young artists and young audiences. Internationally, the Company represented Canada to critical acclaim at the inaugural Commonwealth Youth Dance Festival in Glasgow, Scotland and has toured Singapore, Malaysia, and China. Culminating a three-decade relationship with the José Limón Dance Company, CCDT performed to standing ovations at New York City’s storied Joyce Theater as part of its sister company’s historic 70th anniversary International Dance Festival.
