Marie Chouinard, the revolutionary choreographer, has just been inducted into the Dance Collection Danse Hall of Fame for 2024, alongside other remarkable talents such as Frank Augustyn, Constance V. Pathy, and Joey Hollingsworth. This memorable evening took place on November 10th in Toronto.

Pierre Des Marais, General and Artistic Director of Danse Danse, and Carol Prieur, a dancer with the company, paid tribute to Marie Chouinard during this exceptional ceremony. It was a powerful moment highlighting the immense contribution of the artist to contemporary dance.

The Dance Collection Danse Hall of Fame is much more than a simple ceremony; it’s a vibrant celebration of the heritage of Canadian dance. Each year, Toronto hosts this event, honouring the pioneers and visionaries who have shaped the country’s artistic landscape.

Beyond paying tribute to the great names in dance, the Hall of Fame inspires new generations to push the boundaries of creativity. For dance is, above all, a story of passion, boldness, and freedom.
