Many Canadians lack opportunities to participate in cultural events due to geographic, funding and socioeconomic barriers. Jörgen Community Dance seeks to remove these barriers by bringing free or low cost dance programming directly into communities to ensure the arts are inclusive of all Canadians. Thousands of Canadians each season experience their first every live dance event through Jörgen Community Dance programming; often in non-traditional performance spaces like libraries, schools or community centres. Jörgen Community Dance aims to improve the lives of Canadians by inspiring participation in and appre-ciation for the arts through personal connections and experiences.
