Submit your TSP online

This past year we dispersed $34,970 in Training Subsidy to support dance artists in their pursuit of personal, professional and/or artistic excellence. This is the largest fund for TSP in our history!

We've moved to an online system for TSP submissions:

Celebrate International Dance Day

International Dance Day was introduced in 1982 by UNESCO and is celebrated on April 29 every year. These celebrations are to recognize the contributions of dance/dancers to our societies, to raise the status of the form within official establishments and to bring people together with the universal language of dance.

Read & watch the CDA's 2015 International Dance Day message from Luca 'Lazylegz' Patuelli.
