What Is the Ambassador Experience?
The Artist Development Ambassador Experience is a six-month long, curated program designed for Ottawa dancers and dance professionals who value polished dance imagery, priority access, and an elevated photography experience.
This program is about exploring your creative voice as a dance artist, it is not about follower counts on social media or pressure to “perform” online. Dancers of all levels and abilities (from beginner to advanced) are welcome to apply. Deanna Cormier Photography wants to celebrate dancers love of the art, build confidence, and create meaningful memories, all while being part of a small, supportive ambassador community.
