While Dance Temple is an open-sourced name, we have now been around for nearly 15 years and comprise a network of 8+ dance hubs on the West Coast and sprinkled throughout Canada. (Some international locations in the works).
Part of our aim through this website is to set a standard for the integrity of the Dance Temple name, a level of quality of the space provided, as well as to honour the foundation that has been set by those carrying this torch for many years. In this way the communities attending and holding the space can continue to build trust within the consistency of the container while giving each community plenty of room for their unique expression.
Dance Temple was born through a desire to bring conscious dance facilitators together into one central hub, supporting them in their individual classes and work, but providing the community with a place to come together in bigger groups. In this spirit, we encourage a collective spirit to operate Dance Temple spaces, even if there is one main lead, and for there to be just one Dance Temple within a specific community.
Leading with this collective approach, Dance Temple International intends to weave communities together, honouring our diversity while creating mutual support and dismantling scarcity to create a more buoyant movement and ultimately a more beautiful world…
If you’d like to create or become a Dance Temple, we really hope that you consider reaching out so that we can do this together and build on the incredible foundation that has been laid by the leaders of this network.
If you love dance but don’t have any training we highly encourage you to check out the Dance Weavers Conscious Dance Trainings or any other conscious dance training.
If you are currently a dance facilitator or hold dances in your area and are interested in carrying the Dance Temple flame, please fill in this form so we can talk about weaving you into the larger community.
