Join our family of supporters by contributing directly to dance Immersion.
Become part of our growing role as a home for the development of exceptional African Diasporic dance works in Canada. Our work is an essential part of a healthy society that values lifelong learning, cross-cultural understanding, community building, and coming together in harmony.
- For the emerging choreographer who receives their first professional presentation opportunity.
- For the community member who learns about an African Diasporic dance form and enrolls their child in new classes.
- For the new-comer artist who calls for advice on their grant application.
- For the mid-career artist who reaches out for mentorship as they anxiously embark on their first tour.
- For the community member enlightened about an African Diasporic culture and its impact in Canada and around the world.
- For the established artist who incubates and produces their strongest full-length dance piece to date to share with communities.
…dance Immersion is here.
There are several ways to join us in support of our powerful work:
- Financial donations of any size go directly toward artist fees – boosting artist career opportunities, and receive a charitable tax receipt. You can donate to our general operations through the Future Fund; or to our Immersion Youth Mentorship Program that provides young Black dance artists with workshops, residencies, career mentorship, and professional level-performance opportunities.
- Volunteer to serve on our Board of Directors, or to help out at performance and educational events.
- Subscribe to our bi-weekly newsletter that provides information on upcoming events, Black artist profiles, and broader community arts events.
- Spread the word. If you have enjoyed a dance Immersion event, join us for another one; tell a friend; and like, follow, and share our social posts.
For over 30 years, dance Immersion has impacted communities in Toronto, across Canada, and internationally with our excellence in producing, promoting, and supporting dancers and dances of the African Diaspora.
We are growing: Our high-impact community education and artist professional development programs, our residencies nurturing new and expanding Black Canadian dance works, and our award-winning presentations are expanding as we continue to champion the strength, beauty, diversity, and contributions of African Diasporic dances and the courageous artists who share their visions with the world.
Thank you for your continued support. We cannot do this without our village.
