Exciting news!

We are thrilled to announce that DJD has been invited to join an array of US and international dance companies to perform at the renowned Jacob’s Pillow Dance Festival this summer. Located in Becket, Massachusetts, USA, Jacob’s Pillow is America’s longest-running international dance festival and is known around the world as a “hub and mecca of dancing” (TIME Magazine), and “the dance center of the nation” (The New York Times).

DJD is the only Canadian dance company at Jacob’s Pillow this summer and the only company representing the Jazz genre. DJD will perform Kimberley Cooper’s choreography from Family of Jazz with the Rubim de Toledo Ensemble for a weeklong engagement on the outdoor Henry J. Leir Stage as well as lead classes and engage in other outreach activities.
