Le Jazz Hot Dance Company Tickets

Le Jazz Hot Dance Company is a not-for-profit jazz-oriented dance organization based in Ottawa, Canada. Incorporated on April 3, 1996 as Le Jazz Hot Dance Company of Canada, the company operates in partnership with Vanessa Plettell Dance in Ottawa and is led by artistic director Vanessa Plettell-Chevrier. Known for its classical training roots and a focus on jazz and related contemporary forms, the company emphasizes artistry, technique, and community impact rather than touring as a commercial act.

The organization’s mission centers on training, performance, and outreach through not-for-profit avenues, benefiting dancers at various levels of experience.

Upcoming activities include collaborations with Vanessa Plettell Dance and performances such as the 2025 presentation of Children of Aladdin at Shenkman Arts Centre’s Harold Shenkman Hall in Ottawa on May 17, 2025. The company and its associated school/program have earned recognition through competition success, including Real Dance Competition, Inspire Dance Challenge, and Kick It Up Dance Competition awards across the 2016–2022 period.
