Emmanuelle Lê Phan, Marie-Reine Kabasha and Victoria Mackenzie, in the movie Mami Origami, directed by Marites Carino and choreographed by Emmanuelle Lê Phan
Since 1984, the RQD has achieved numerous important advances for the discipline and for all those it affects on a daily basis. The association also offers a variety of services, including training activities, a dancer training support program, exclusive practical resources, and the Québec Danse portal used to promote its members and choreographic art.
After more than a year of living under the shadow of a pandemic, we must pull together to find a way out of the crisis and bring our focus to bear on the recovery of the sector. Being a member of the RQD has become paramount. The greater our numbers are, the stronger Quebec’s professional dance community will be, and the more its voice will be heard by political decision-makers.
Again this year, the RQD invites you to benefit from solidarity membership fees so that you can play a greater part in the consolidation and recovery of the dance community.
After all, the Regroupement québécois de la danse is you. Your network. Your voice. Your strength.
