The Guelph Dance Festival and Arts Explosion Camps for youth are signature programs that occur annually during each season at Guelph Dance. We strive to offer additional opportunities to experience and engage with dance throughout the year. Thanks to partnerships with local arts organizations and the broader dance community, we’re able to bring more dance to Guelph and deepen the city’s relationship with this art form we love so dearly.
Stay tuned for our upcoming special presentations!
