What is the Christian Dance Fellowship of Canada?

The Christian Dance Fellowship of Canada (CDFC) was formed in 1991 and is a member of the International Christian Dance Fellowship. It includes people from all parts of the Christian church, and encourages fellowship, resources, support and regional connections (where possible) for Christians involved in the movement arts. CDFC affirms the major creeds of the Christian church and bases faith and doctrine on the Bible.

The Christian Dance Fellowship of Canada is a network of encouragement, training and creativity for dancers across the country. National coordinator Diane Steckloff, a trained ballet dancer and a member of St. Matthew's Anglican Church in Abbotsford, says the fellowship began when she used dance and drama in a Calgary parish. This touched the heart of her then-pastor, who began researching the role of the arts in worship.

The Christian Dance Fellowship of Canada is dedicated to:

• To honour Jesus Christ in all its activities and to help build unity in the Body of Christ;
• Serve both the body of Christ and those outside the Church through the ministry and art of dance and movement;
• Provide a fellowship where members from all branches of the Christian faith may share their experience of dance and movement;
• Contribute to the training of individuals and groups involved in dance and movement ministry particularly those in leadership and thereby to improve the standard of such ministry.

Membership entitles you to receive 3 national newsletters per year, participate in CDFC workshops and conferences at a reduced rate, and to receive our membership list. You also have the privilege of attending our cyber-forums (discussions via email), holding office in CDFC, and fellowshipping with fabulous people, world-wide, if you so choose!

Why do We Dance to the Lord? To bring honour, glory, and praise to our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, through the art of dance and movement to equip and encourage one another in this ministry for the purpose of worship.

"Let everything that has breath praise the Lord" - Psalm 150:6
