The Lamondance Professional Dance Company

A vital professional pathway cultivating extraordinary dance artists, bridging post-secondary education with mainstage contemporary performance.

Our Core Purpose

Fostering Artists & Creating Pathways

The Lamondance Professional Dance Company provides a vital professional pathway primarily for graduates of our post-secondary contemporary training program. We also welcome extraordinary talent beyond our alumni base, enriching our ensemble and the community with high-calibre performances.

The company serves as a natural progression for talented individuals from our training program. This established pathway cultivates and retains exceptional talent within the Lamondance ecosystem, offering alumni crucial first professional roles and ongoing career support.

Under the direction of Davi Rodrigues, our company trains intensively from September to June, covering ballet, somatic practice, improvisation, and contemporary dance. Our repertoire features groundbreaking contemporary works by both established and emerging choreographers.
