Coastal Dance Theatre Society (CDTS) is a Dartmouth based, not-for-profit, youth performing company. CDT provides the opportunity for aspiring young dancers to perform in professional settings.
HOLIDAY SEASON shows are colourful and popular productions such as THE SNOW QUEEN, ALICE IN WINTERLAND, and THE NUTCRACKER. Thousands of children have enjoyed their first theatrical experience with us at the beautiful Alderney Landing Theatre.
SPRING SHOWCASE offers a challenging amalgamation of Contemporary and Classical pieces. Each year, the dancers perform an adaptation of one of the great classics, such as Swan Lake, Giselle, or La Bayadere… a challenge indeed and a delight for dancers and audiences alike. The dancers also perform exciting Contemporary pieces by local and national artists.
Our dancers’ performance careers start in our
COASTAL DANCE YOUTH PERFORMANCE CLASSES.
Dancers may be selected at the age of 9 around the grade 3 level of dance and can progress through the levels until they are technically ready for a full Coastal Dance Theatre (CDT) company membership.
YPC dancers participate in the CDT holiday productions like The Nutcracker, Alice in Winterland, and The Snow Queen. They also perform in the CDTS Spring Showcase doing ballet and contemporary styles.
