Indigenous Dance Foundation
Non-profit founded on the wish to bring the art of dance and its benefits to Indigenous communities across Canada. We work to uphold Truth and Reconciliation Calls to Action and give children a chance to learn to use their bodies in beautiful movements, leading to increased confidence and positive mental health.
Mission Statement
Foster Indigenous youth’s confidence through the art of dance. Provide a safe environment for movement, socialization and expression. Work towards equity by ensuring Indigenous youth have access to recreational programs.
Our Programs
Summer Programs
We work with Recreational Coordinators in various hamlets to bring week-long summer dance programs to Nunavut and other Canadian regions.
Year-Long Classes
We have free classes available all though the year. We build connections with youth and allow them to find consistency though dance so they can identify as a dancer.
