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 Chair Catherine Carpenko, they re-launched last Octoberunder the direction of Board Member Jade Jager Clark [image left].

There are many new and exciting activities planned for the new Youth Board and who can't wait to get started!

A new application form will be available shortly.
