Coastal Dance Theatre Society (CDTS) is a Dartmouth based, not-for-profit, youth performing company.   CDTS provides an opportunity for aspiring young dancers to perform in a professional setting. The dancers perform both classical and contemporary works by local and nationally acknowledged professional artists.    

“CONCERTS FOR CHILDREN”  colourful and popular productions such as  THE SNOW QUEEN,  ALICE IN WINTERLAND and  NUTCRACKER.   Thousands of N.S children have enjoyed their first theatrical  experience with us at the beautiful Alderney Landing Theatre.

“IN CONCERT” 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 audience alike. As well, the dancers perform exciting Contemporary pieces by local and national artists.
