Barrie Arts Network

Simcoe Contemporary Dancers is a professional performance ensemble, based in Simcoe County, Ontario. As local artists, our goal is to raise visibility and participation in contemporary dance by: Providing workshops/classes for adults at an intermediate to advanced level of training; creating and performing works that are relatable and engaging to the general public; and providing public access to dance through performances/community involvement. Simcoe Contemporary Dancers was founded in June 2009 by Sarah Lochhead with support from a Barrie Arts Grant to individual artists.
