Board of Directors: Youth Board (DOYB)

The Dance Ontario Youth Board (DOYB) exists to represent Youth who dance in Ontario.

We recognize that there are many passionate young people with great ideas and the DOYB gives them the opportunity to share them with each other, with the broader dance community, and to eventually turn dreams into reality.

In the past DOYB has worked closely with the Dance Ontario Board and has successfully organized fantastic shows at Pearson International Airport for International Dance Day for the last three years.
Initiated by our Past Chair Catherine Carpenko, they are now under the direction of Board Member Jade Jager Clark [image left].

There are many new and exciting activities planned for the Youth Board

A new application form will be available shortly.

Welcome to the Dance Ontario
Youth Board (DOYB)

The DOYB presented programming at Pearson International Airport for International Dance Day. Youth Board members are Bernardo Valdivia, Madison Gray, Riya Patel, Una Wabinski and Radhika Majmudar.
Over 90 dancers entertained travellers and airport staff, crew and security from noon until 4:30 pm. Ranging in age from five to 23 years they were YMI Dancing, Rhythmic Fire Danzers, Keiko Kitano & York Dancers, Randolph Dance Crew, Nritya Kala Mandir, Jade's Hip-Hop Academy Performance Company, The Dance Place and City Dance Corps Youth Company.


Sponsored in part by the GTAA led by Lee Petrie and ROSCO Floors, they made us very proud!
