Ally Organization

Crimson Coast Dance is a small scale, artist led, non-profit charity that professionally produces dance events on Snuneymuxw Territory, also known as Nanaimo and in the Central Vancouver Island Region. We produce a MainStage season, Dance On The Crimson Coast - The InFrinGinG Dance Festival - Mixed Abilities Dance Jams - Residencies - and a youth program, The Body Talk Program, that offers career exploration in event planning and facilitated by Indigenous leaders to create a safe and fun learning space for Indigenous teens and allies. CCD has produced over 300 events since 1998. Crimson Coast Dance Society brings a diverse range of high-calibre dance experiences to the Nanaimo area which feature contemporary, cultural, street or fusion genre. We deliver inclusive performances and educational opportunities at both the grassroots and professional levels, and strive to represent the diversity of our audience, community, and performers. We aim to support a diverse and inclusive workforce and workplace. Crimson Coast views difference as our biggest asset and inspiration. We give our highest regard to the Snuneymuxw People as we do our work on their land.
