We are a dance community for adults of all levels of experience in Centre Wellington. We take creative risks together, interpret stories through choreography and visual production, and show up to train our bodies and skills in dance.

We hold classes “Dance Programs” that connect brain to body to music, to build confidence as a dancer and impress yourself with growth and taking on a fun challenge!

In a constant state of experimentation and growth, we provide opportunities for performances at festivals, events, and in larger theatrical productions. We hold auditions annually in Fergus.

Whether you’re dancing for joy, growth, or creative release, Dance and Heart invites you to show up fully, move authentically, and be part of a community that celebrates every body in motion. 

our work

  • The Quest

    A baby swan is born into an enchanted realm, where two snails show her the fun and fancy-free life of woodland creatures. An altercation with a band of angry unicorns ignites a quest in which the baby swan grows beautiful red feathers for each brave act she makes towards reconciling the conflict between the unicorns and woodland creatures.

    Including fairies, water monsters, nymphs, foxes, frogs…and narrated by a quirky faun!

    Contact us to learn how you can bring The Quest to your venue…or learn it yourself!

  • RAFT

    What happens between the moment of her last breath and the moment she becomes a siren of the enchanted lake?

    Exploring themes of friendship, discovery, and self expression, three women find themselves on a raft together after they succumb to forces of the enchanted realm.

    With a haunting, whimsical, and psychedelic soundtrack, this story has no narration. Contact us to bring RAFT to your venue.

  • Emily's Letters

    The letters of a long-ago friendship resurface and conjure the spirits that represent “Emily” in her past and present forms. Vignettes of sisterhood, nostalgia, mental health, and more come to awareness in this minimalist dance production.

    Suitable for small venues with low technical needs, let us bring Emily’s Letters to you by contacting us today.

  • Dance Fables

    Stories told through dance, from the imagination of a child reading a storybook of fables. Fantasy costumes bring to the forefront the discovery of unicorns, fairies, fauns, nymphs, and more..

    Dance Fables is a collection of short pieces that is designed for festivals with stages that allow for costume changes and/or immersive performance.
