Dances at the Bay – HCA Dance + Theatre

After a monumental first year, Dances at the Bay continues to honour our deep commitment to the community – an event for Hamilton, by Hamilton!
Dances at the Bay will run July 18 – 20, 2025 at Bayfront Park in Hamilton, Ontario.

ADDITIONAL OPPORTUNITIES:
Fear No Dance!
Join us for the Fear No Dance initiative, a vibrant community dance project. This initiative encourages participants to embrace their fears and step outside their comfort zones. This exciting dance project offers free participation to anyone within the community, from ages 13 to 65 and beyond, welcoming all skill and experience levels.

This project is a celebration of community and the joy of dance, designed to inspire participants to conquer their apprehensions and discover new potential. Don’t miss the opportunity to connect with your community, learn from top-notch choreographers, and experience the exhilaration of performing at a renowned dance festival. Join us to express yourself, meet new friends, and be part of an unforgettable experience where embracing fear leads to personal growth and communal celebration.

Participants must be available to commit to the performance dates and rehearsal schedule with a maximum allowance of two absences, ensuring a cohesive and polished performance. The project culminates with a finale showcase at the Dances at the Bay Festival (formerly known as Dusk Dances Hamilton) held at Bayfront Park on the evenings of July 18, 19, and 20, 2025, with an additional on-site dress rehearsal on July 17, 2025.
