Montréal Danse is spearheading the cause Dance Against Violence, which it co-founded with Agora de la danse, La Dauphinelle and Amélie-Dionne Charest. The company offers women and their children who are violence survivors, movement workshops that empower them to regain control of their bodies and their self-esteem. Since 2010, these non-conventional workshops give them the lead role in the path towards their own well-being. The workshops are given by dancers-moderators that are professional performers of the company (Maryse Carrier, Elinor Fueter, Rachel Harris). Their sensitivity and expertise of the body and movement play a major role on the path to recovery and better-being. Since 2010, nearly 500 workshops have been held, with close to 2400 women and children participating. Recently a new format of workshops is dedicated to women and their children together.
