The November edition of The Dance Centre's popular and long-running Discover Dance! noon series will feature the exceptional young dancers of the Arts Umbrella Dance Company. A pre-professional repertory company based in Vancouver, the dancers are trained through Arts Umbrella's renowned dance program which is known for nurturing outstanding young artists, many of whom go on to dance professionally. The program will include new and innovative contemporary ballets created by choreographers from across Canada and around the world. There will be an artist talkback after the show.
The Arts Umbrella Dance Company (AUDC) is a pre-professional repertory company based in Vancouver. The company rehearses and performs new works by leading North American and European choreographers. AUDC consists of more than 60 dancers, select members of the Arts Umbrella Professional Training Program and Post-Secondary Programs. These dancers train, rehearse, and perform in two ensembles: Senior (Ages 16-22) and Apprentice (Ages 12-16).
Broad-based performance and touring opportunities, along with rigorous technical training, prepare AUDC members for dance education at the university level or a career with professional dance companies. Dancers from AUDC are lauded for their professionalism and dedication, going on to join companies across North America and Europe, including Ballet BC, Ballets Jazz Montréal, Nederlands Dans Theater, The Batsheva Ensemble, Theaterhaus Stuttgart, and Grand Théâtre de Genève.
