Established in 1968, Dance Arts Institute (formerly The School of Toronto Dance Theatre) is a national leader in performing arts training.

At Dance Arts Institute, we are training creative people to perform, choreograph, and teach, and to assume leadership roles that will change the face of contemporary dance in Canada and around the world. The School is an invaluable foundation upon which the graduates of our core Professional Training Program can build, flourish, and create their own futures and a new vision for the art form and all of our students can share the joy and benefits of movement. We foster innovation in our students, so that they can be the innovators of the future.  A strong dance foundation creates endless possibilities.
