Vertical Dance Week

 

Vertical Dance Week is an annual gathering dedicated to growing vertical dance practice and mentorship in Atlantic Canada. A collaboration between Neighbourhood Dance Works and Cirque’letics, the initiative brings together dance artists interested in rigging-informed, site-specific movement in both natural and urban environments. 
Following a successful inaugural edition in 2025, we’re excited to return for our second edition in 2026. 


The week-long program features workshops, creative exploration, and mentorship with experienced facilitators and guest artists. Training begins indoors at Cirque’letics, building technical and creative foundations through rope and wall work, before moving outdoors to explore vertical movement in varied landscapes, from coastal cliffs to urban facades.


Vertical Dance Week is about connection, creativity, and opening new possibilities for dance artists working with height, harness, and unconventional spaces.
