Join/Renew Membership

Join the hundreds of professional dancers who are members of the DTRC.

Membership Criteria

Membership in the Dancer Transition Resource Centre is open to all professional dancers legally authorized to work in Canada, or Canadian professional dancers working abroad who:

• are at least 18 years of age
• have at least one professional, paid performance on their C.V./resumé
• are currently performing professionally as a dancer or have performed in the past two years, and are actively looking for dance performance opportunities

Membership Year

The DTRC membership year runs from September 1st to August 31st; but new members are welcome to join at any point during the membership year.

Fees

New for 2020-2021

Membership fees are based on your gross annual earnings from the previous tax year as a dancer/interpreter, including all performance-related activity (i.e., creation, rehearsal and performance). For example, if paying fees for the 2020/2021 membership year, the amount is based on your 2019 performance-related income. You will be asked to select a pay bracket from the fees list that corresponds to these gross annual earnings. Normally, the annual membership fee minimum is $75 and maximum is $250. This year, we are offering a $50 membership for those in the lowest bracket in recognition of the impact the COVID – 19 has had on the live performance community. The $25 discount may apply to membership fees over the minimum level and will be considered on a case-by-case basis. Finally, members in financial need may request a payment plan to remit their fees.

 

Prior to 2019-2020

Fees are based on 1% of gross annual earnings from the previous tax year as a dancer, including all performance-related activity (i.e., creation, rehearsal and performance). The minimum membership fee is $75 and the maximum is $250. Members in financial need may request a payment plan to remit their fees.
