Canvas Dance Company

Canvas is Dancing For Joy's Adult Dance Company. Our goal is to provide accessible opportunities for dancers to show their artistry post-highschool and to paint a canvas of storytelling through the vehicle of dance.

The goal of Canvas is to be a collective of dancers that create pieces for each other to perform in. This means that every member is an artist and gets to paint the picture that is in the picture that they envision using dance as a medium.

Canvas meets for rehearsals once a week on Fridays from 6-9pm at Dancing For Joy in Bellingham.

We put on three performances a year with opportunity for company members to choreograph.
