New Horizons. Bold Voices.
Dance Victoria’s 29th season of the World’s Best Dance is on sale now as a 4-show subscription package. The program features a line-up of trailblazers – New Horizons, Bold Voices – featuring acclaimed dance companies from Taiwan, Italy, Canada, and New York.
The 2025/26 season launches with the Canadian premiere of Hung Dance (Taiwan). The company has transfixed international audiences with striking movement and storytelling that weaves Western mythology and Eastern traditions. Italy’s leading contemporary company, CCN/Aterballetto, makes a rare visit to North America with a program featuring Iratxe Ansa and Igor Bacovich Rhapsody in Blue and Crystal Pite’s Solo Echo. GALLIM (New York) will take the Royal Theatre by storm with an exuberant program by lauded choreographer Andrea Miller. Finally, we present Boca Tuya (New York), a movement collective rooted in the rhythms, storytelling traditions, and cultural heritage of Puerto Rico.
“The artistic leadership of the companies in our 2025/26 Season, along with the dynamic choreographic voices they are uplifting, are vanguards in the national and international dance milieux. They are driving innovation while maintaining the highest levels of artistic excellence,” shares Dance Victoria’s Executive Director Gillian Jones. “What these artists create will capture our audiences’ imaginations and, I hope, inspire deeper conversation and connection.”
Subscribers enjoy priority access and reduced pricing for special presentations, including UNIVERSUS, a new double bill by recent Chrystal Dance Prize winner Belle Spirale Dance Projects (Vancouver), choreographed by Alexis Fletcher and Fernando Hernando Magadan. Ukrainian Shumka Dancers return with their high-energy production of Nutcracker accompanied by the Victoria Symphony.
Dance Victoria subscribers access the best seats at the best price with savings of up to $135 on single ticket prices. Patrons ages 30-45 can save up to $182 through Dance Victoria’s popular Night Moves program. Single tickets go on sale to the public on Sept. 2.
