Propeller Dance

Propeller Dance has been an innovator in the field of contemporary integrated dance and diverse performance practices in Canada since 2007. Propeller Dance is committed to excellence — creating, teaching, performing, presenting integrated dance and more recently, inter-arts performance. At the core of our work is the belief that dance is for all people, and as wide a breadth of expression as possible is of value. We are recognized as a leader in Canada for our innovative, inclusive creations and teaching practices, and for demonstrating that dreams can be achieved for people of all abilities.

Performances and workshops are available within the Cities of Ottawa and Gatineau (Hull).

This is a place where magical things happen! We see characters struggle with inclusivity; rejection, cowardice, fear, and hurtfulness.
