Save the date for our hybrid conference, November 6 & 7, 2021  With the rapidly evolving COVID-19 pandemic closing borders, restricting travel and limiting large in-person events, Healthy Dancer Canada has made the difficult but responsible decision to cancel the Annual Conference which was set to take place in Vancouver August 28 - 30, 2020. Although this decision was not made lightly, it was made with the best interest of our members and community in mind. At a time when the world needs arts and culture more than ever, we look forward to supporting our community in different ways in the coming months, and welcoming you to our Annual Conference again in 2021.
 Healthy Dancer Canada members Bonnie Robson Carpenter, Jo-Anne La Flèche and Linda Bluestein attended the Performing Arts Medicine Association symposium in LA.
 HDC Conference Coordinator Andrea Downie was featured on Turn Out Radio, interviewed by HDC Board member Nicole Hamilton, on Wednesday August 15, 2018. Listen below to hear about the upcoming 10th Anniversary Healthy Dancer Canada Conference 2018 in Toronto this September 28-30.
The show airs at 9 a.m. EST on CIUT 89. 5 FM. For those who are not in the Toronto area, the show can be streamed live, weekly, at www.ciut.fm. Our 10th Anniversary Conference schedule is now posted! See our exceptional group of presenters!
 The Conference Committee is pleased to announce that one of our founding members, Donna Krasnow, PhD, will give the keynote address, as well as a workshop at the 10th Anniversary Conference in Toronto!
