The School of Toronto Dance Theatre
80 Winchester Street M4X 1B2 Toronto, ON, Canada

Although our theatre and studios remain empty, we are delighted to be working virtually with our amazing students once again Our first week of classes with our second and third year students is off to a great start! Additionally, as part of our commitment to education, and recognizing our responsibility in eliminating systemic barriers within the School and the dance community, we started the term with a training session on Respectful Workplaces, Human Rights, and Non-...Harrassment/Discrimination hosted by Cultural Pluralism in the Arts Movement Ontario (CPAMO). Students, faculty, and staff were all in attendance, and we look forward to our continued work with CPAMO in January. As conversations continue and we move ahead through the year, we continue working to improve our efforts to be allies, and to promote a fair and inclusive community in which to work, study, and live.
