Honour Roll
The Honour Roll of Distinguished Alumni recognizes and pays tribute to the artists and builders who’ve made a significant contribution to the RWB and/or the world of dance.
About
In celebration of our 80th anniversary, the RWB launched the Honour Roll of Distinguished Alumni to recognize prominent figures from our history. The RWB celebrates the induction of successful Honour Roll recipients every 5 years. Our next Honour Roll recipients will be announced during the 2029-2030 season. All recognitions are at the discretion of the Selection Committee, which is comprised of representatives of various RWB stakeholders.
If you would like to begin a nomination for consideration during the 2029-2030 season, please contact the RWB’s Archivist Gayle DeGagné at archives@rwb.org
