OUR COMMITMENT TO ANTI–RACISM

The Alberta Dance Alliance is committed as an anti-racist organization by: Standing in solidarity with Black people, Indigenous people and communities of colour, listening to what is needed and taking action to address injustice; continuing to question our practices and disrupting patterns that reinforce inequities; advocating for change in arts policies and arts funding; and holding ourselves to a standard that does not accept that this work is ever done. We join our national organization, the Canadian Dance Assembly, in our commitment to meaningful change.

Please listen, learn, and support where you can. We vow to do the same. We commit to growing our own understanding along with you.

The Alberta Dance Alliance stands with all dance artists, cultural communities and Canadians in the fight against racism. Please contact us if you require resources on anti-racism in dance or have particular concerns with respect to experiences of racism in your own dance practice.
