Harbourfront Centre - Premiere Dance Theatre
A focal point for Canadian dance companies, the Harbourfront Centre also hosts a kaleidoscopic array of international touring troupes, usually performing at the two-tiered Premiere Dance Theatre in the Queen's Quay Terminal. Classical Indian dances, traditional folk performances and modern French comedies are among the productions staged here. Dancespeak, a chance to talk with the dancers, usually takes place on the second night of the performance run. Buy tickets at the Harbourfront box office at the York Quay Centre, 235 Queens Quay W.

Toronto Dance Theatre
Kinetic and poetic, this contemporary dance troupe performs at a restored church in Cabbagetown and the Harbourfront Centre's Premiere Dance Theatre during winter and early spring. The annual Four at the Winch event spotlights four works by emerging Canadian choreographers. The School of Toronto Dance Theatre also performs in Cabbagetown – opening nights are highly recommended!

National Ballet of Canada
Pirouetting joyfully in its new Four Seasons Centre home, the National Ballet actively commissions new and experimental works by choreographers from across Canada, the USA and around the world. Traditional ballets like The Nutcracker also get a run. Ask about Ballet Talk introductory lectures often given one hour before curtain time.
