DanceHouse Tickets

DanceHouse is a dynamic presenter of contemporary dance based in Vancouver, BC. Founded in 2008 by Barb Clausen and Jim Smith, the organization operates as a program of Seismic Shift Arts Society, a registered non-profit dedicated to nurturing bold, cross-disciplinary performance. While DanceHouse is a presenter rather than a performing company, its mission centers on curating adventurous dance works that push boundaries—often blending live music, tango, circus elements, and immersive experiences.

Performances and seasons unfold at major venues across Vancouver, with the Vancouver Playhouse serving as a key home for many DanceHouse engagements. The Playhouse, located at 600 Hamilton Street in downtown Vancouver, offers a historic, intimate setting for contemporary works and a robust box office operation to assist patrons with tickets and subscriptions. DanceHouse also extends its reach through social channels and professional networks to keep audiences informed about upcoming programs.

As a partner in regional arts initiatives, DanceHouse collaborates on programs like The Louise Bentall Award for Emerging BC Choreographers, which supports the next generation of choreographers with DanceHouse playing an active role in the selection and presentation of nominees, including the 2025 recipient Kaili Che. This focus on nurturing talent complements the organization’s roster of international and local artists, reinforcing Vancouver’s status as a global hub for contemporary dance.

Upcoming 2025/26 season highlights demonstrate the breadth of DanceHouse’s programming, featuring bold, cross-disciplinary works. Highlights include Duck Pond (Circa) January 22–25, 2025; Diptych (The Missing Door and The Lost Room) April 24–26, 2025; Amour, acide et noix (Daniel Léveillé) October 24–25, 2025; Birdy (Hung Dance) November 28–29, 2025; with 2026 titles like Paradisum and Manifesto already in development. For audiences in Vancouver and beyond, DanceHouse offers flexible ticketing options such as 2025/26 subscriptions and the Choose Your Own Four packages to tailor experiences to individual appetites for contemporary performance.
