Connecting Our
Dance Arts Community.
OUR VISION:
Progressive educational opportunities through exemplary leadership.
Letter From The President
The Wild Rose Dance Arts Association (1987) is a non-profit organization that was originally formed in September of 1982 and held its first annual competition in June of 1983. The Association was formed by a group of dance teachers who felt Calgary should have a forum for all students to perform and gain experience.
​
Our mission is connecting our dance arts community and we do that through progressive educational opportunities through exemplary leadership.
​
Over the years, the Association has continued to grow in many ways. In addition to the annual competition, there are also several different scholarships and awards handed out each year, with a goal of returning approximately $20,000.00 annually back in to the local dance community. The main objectives of the Association are to educate and increase understanding and appreciation of the arts by organizing and operating a dance competition, and to advance education by providing scholarships to dance competitors through educational events.
​
Our members work hard to make our local dance community a positive place for students to learn about dance and develop self confidence.
Jennifer Zacharias
President, WRDAA
