We have an exciting opportunity for your dancer!! Consider joining us for our NEW…
CYDC TASTER
Coming FALL 2025
Curious about CYDC, but nervous to commit to the full season? Well, we have an exciting opportunity for you! If your dancer is ages 9 - 12 (as of September 2025) and currently in Pre-Junior 2, Junior 1, or Junior 2, we invite them to join us for our Fall 2025 CYDC TASTER!
These dancers will experience what it is like to participate in CYDC, they will learn a Christmas dance to be performed at CYDC Christmas performances (Nov/Dec 2025), build community and friendships, be mentored by our CYDC faculty and dancers, and take their dancing to the next level!
Our hope is that this shortened TASTER program will provide you with a closer look at CYDC and CYDC can be an integral part of your dancer’s life! Dancers will then be encouraged to consider auditioning for the full CYDC Company 2026/27 season in May 2026.

Introducing CYDC 2024/25
Crossings Youth Dance Company (aka. CYDC) is a Calgary faith-based contemporary dance company that provides an outlet for young dancers to develop their artistic skill and gain performance experience. Through mentorship of the whole dancer (body, mind, spirit) CYDC hopes to expand the dancers understanding and integration of faith and art. CYDC's ministry as a company is to be a bridge between the church and dance community, providing the church with excellent and thought-provoking dance and bringing inspiring dance into the community.
CYDC provides an outlet for dancers to develop their performance skill and gain artistic experience they cannot get elsewhere. The season kicks off with an August choreographic intensive and continues into the fall with weekly Saturday rehearsals. Dancers get the opportunity to work with local, national, and international choreographers, creating a production to be performed in February/March. The dancers are mentored in their journey to connect their dancing and faith through devotionals and community building activities. As well, through performance opportunities in churches, schools, senior homes and community events CYDC desires to give back to the community and inspire others.
INTERSECT, a division of CYDC, is a pre-professional training company for dancers (ages 16-20) who are in the intersection between youth and professional training/performance and are interested in pursuing dance as a career.
The CYDC dancer experiences:
Week-long August Choreographic Intensive
Weekly Saturday rehearsals (September - March)
Working with 3 - 6 choreographers a year (depending on division)
Learning and performing repertoire around Calgary in churches, schools and community events
Mentorship, Discipleship and Community
Devotionals related to annual theme
