Mandate
The mandate of the Canadian Dance Organization is to offer elite dancers of Canada an opportunity to represent their country on the world stage. Our organization gives dancers the opportunity to travel, meet other dancers worldwide and to compete as a unified team with other dancers from across Canada. The Canadian Dance Organization also gives Canadian dancers the opportunity to learn from master teachers and choreographers both within Canada and worldwide. We encourage our Team Canada dancers and their supporters to foster good sportsmanship, and to promote Canadian values while exhibiting our remarkable dance training. We only work with the 'best of the best' choreographers who choose the best dancers to represent Canada.

About Us
The Beginning
Team Canada Dance has been attending the official World Dance Championships since the 1990's when we first attended the World Tap Championships in Dresden, Germany. Our first team consisted of 12 outstanding dancers from across Canada including: British Columbia, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Ontario and Québec. The Canadian National Tap Team (choreographer Matthew Clark) placed in the TOP 5 in the world! That experience was inspiring for our dancers and our team and since then, we have returned to win over 25 WORLD TITLES in Tap, Ballet, Jazz, Modern, Hip Hop and Showdance.
Our Canadian team is respected for both our talent and sportsmanship and is admired worldwide as one of the "teams to beat!"
