The future beyond possibilities
The Company
Under the direction of Davie Rodrigues, The Lamondance Company is a ten-member performance company that supports the further development of artists committed to making dance their profession.
LMD has five full-company positions and five apprentice positions. We proudly offer paid performance opportunities throughout the season and the possibility of short-term project-based work.
The mission of the Company is to provide a place where refined artists can do what they love and to provide the community with high-calibre dance. The season runs from September to June, and dancers must attend all classes and rehearsals (weekdays between 8 am and 1:30 pm).
The company runs separately from the training program, but there are opportunities for collaboration throughout the season. The dancers have daily body conditioning and technique classes in ballet, gaga, improvisation, and contemporary dance.
The company's repertoire is rooted in contemporary dance and aims to bring established and emerging choreographers each season.
Past choreographers include Davi Rodrigues, Wen Wei Wang, Nicolas Ventura, Dance//Novella, Vanessa Goodman, Noam Gagnon, Alexis Fletcher and many others.
This is a project-based company, and dancers are paid and compensated following CADA West guidelines.
Apprentice Company
The Apprentice dancers are members of the company and will dance all the works (when cast) alongside the company members.
Those are made of the 3rd year Contemporary Training Program Dancers.
