Ballet Victoria acknowledges that our dance studio, office, and performance venues are located on the unceded Coast Salish territory of the lək̓ʷəŋən and W̱SÁNEĆ peoples. Ballet Victoria acknowledges and thanks them for allowing us to live, work and play on their lands. We also give thanks to the ancestors, supernatural ones, hereditary leaders and matriarchs, and creatures big and small for looking after the rich resources and cultural teachings of this beautiful land. We acknowledge our traditional hosts and honour their welcome and graciousness to the artists who share their artform here.
