It was the dream of a small group of individuals, whose own children had grown up having a love of dance. They believed forming a dance Festival in the Surrey Area would be an ideal way to return to the community what had been an everlasting joy to them and their children.

During the early years, the Surrey Festival was held in church halls and libraries until the Surrey Arts Theatre was re-developed in 1980 and again in 2002.

The main body of the Festival is held at the Surrey Arts Theatre, with larger events such as the Honour Performance being held at the Bell Centre for Performing Arts Theatre.

The Surrey Festival of Dance small beginnings, now encompasses a full five weeks covering the various dance disciplines. With dance growth, we have seen tremendous supported from our Corporate sponsors, benefactors, patrons and donors. We recognize the various dance schools who have support us, not only with dancers, but scholarships and ads for our program. We extend a special thank you to all sponsors, benefactors, patrons, studio's and donors.
