14 Years of Celebrating our Dance Community.

Lamondance & Friends Gala, an extraordinary event that unites the dance community on a night to celebrate the art of dance, promises an unforgettable evening of pure passion, love, and creativity. Set in the vibrant city of Vancouver, renowned for its cultural diversity and dance scene, this gala showcases the multifaceted nature of the dance community, bringing together artists of different styles, backgrounds, and experiences.
The Lamondance & Friends Gala goes beyond simply presenting a show; it is a testament to the power of unity and collaboration within the dance world. With no competition or judgment, this gala aims to foster a sense of togetherness, nurture connections, and showcase Vancouver's incredible talent.
The event serves a dual purpose: supporting Lamondance's scholarship and bursary programs and the production of our shows while offering a space for our community to share their creativity. Lamondance, as an organization, firmly believes in the power of sharing and the notion that diversity is a strength. The dance community truly shines through each individual's collective efforts and unique contributions.

Attendees can expect an awe-inspiring display of various dance styles, from classical ballet to contemporary, jazz to hip hop, and everything in between. Each performance is a testament to the dancers' dedication, skill, and artistic expression, highlighting the breadth and depth of talent present within the Vancouver dance community.
The Lamondance & Friends Gala brings dancers together and establishes connections with the audience, inviting them to witness the transformative power of dance firsthand. It is a night of celebration, appreciation, and profound emotions that leave a lasting impact on all who attend.
Join Lamondance and the vibrant dance community of Vancouver at the Lamondance & Friends Gala as they come together to celebrate the art of Dance. Experience the harmony, creativity, and sheer joy that permeates the dance floor, reminding us all of the universal language that is movement.
