Calgary Dance Collective

MISSION & VISION

Calgary Dance Collective is a group of 10 rotating facilitators offering their unique styles of conscious dance movement practice.

Our mission is to offer an inclusive and intentional weekly dance space where adults can explore a wide range of embodied movement practices led by devoted facilitators. We cultivate a safe and sacred environment that supports freedom of expression, deep reconnection with body, mind, and spirit, and the growth of meaningful community through the shared language of dance.

We envision a future where conscious dance is a vital force in Calgary, and worldwide — where people gather to listen to the intelligence of their bodies, movement is recognized as medicine, and dance communities flourish as places of healing, creativity, and belonging. By empowering innovative facilitators and expanding the city’s dance ecosystem, we aim to elevate collective wellbeing and ignite a culture of embodied connection that transforms individuals and the community.

Core Values:

• Inclusivity — every body, identity, and experience is welcome

• Authenticity — move and express yourself without pressure or pretense

• Respect & Consent — listening, care, integrity, and embodied wisdom

• Wellness — nurturing mental, physical, emotional, and spiritual wellbeing

• Community — building meaningful relationships through shared movement

• Reverence — honoring dance as a sacred, intentional practice

• Courage — showing up as you are and letting the body lead

• Support — facilitators guide presence, safety, and self-discovery

• Innovation — evolving dance, creativity, and conscious movement
