Today, on International Dance Day, we pause to recognize the vital, living force that dance is in our lives and communities.

Dance does not simply perform for the world — it listens to it. It notices what is shifting, what is stuck, and what still waits to be named. It reminds us that presence, care, and connection are not luxuries, but essential ways of being.

We invite you to read a powerful message from Yvonne Ng — Ontario’s International Dance Day 2025 Ambassador, Artistic Director of tiger princess dance projects, and Curator of dance: made in canada / fait au canada Festival (d:mic/fac).
Through her words, she reflects on dance as a practice of resilience, tenderness, and embodied truth.

Today, we honour all who make, teach, witness, and sustain dance. Thank you for moving through the world with courage, care, and imagination.
