“What is most extraordinary about The Arts Umbrella Dance Company is the roster of international choreographers that come to Vancouver to create new works on the dancers,” says Arts Umbrella Dance Artistic Director Artemis Gordon, who has been at the helm for the past 24 years. “A ticket to Season Finale is like a global passport to what the world of dance is offering. The insight of the work that is being done on the international stage is rare even for most professional companies, and yet it is being brought to Vancouver and presented by our company. The calibre of the performance is applauded by dance artists from around the
world.”
For the past 28 years, The Arts Umbrella Dance company has been developing intelligent and motivated dance students into strong and in-demand dance artists. The dancers train six days a week as they take part in over 50 hours of classes a week. Arts Umbrella graduates have been hired by critically lauded and cutting-edge contemporary companies both here at home, like Ballet BC, and around the world with, Cedar Lake Contemporary Ballet (New York City), Noord Nederlands Dans, (Netherlands) and Dresden Semperoper Ballet.
