Golden ORA Dance Awards 2026

A message to our dance community

To all DJs, instructors, studios, organizers, and community leaders, thank you for the work you do every week to keep our dance scene alive 👋

We want to be very clear, Golden ORA is a recognition and appreciation night, it is not a competition. There are no rankings, no scoring, and no winners versus losers.

The purpose is simple, bring people together in a positive way, recognize contribution without comparison, and support a meaningful cause. For this event, 100% of net proceeds are donated directly to CHEO Children’s Hospital.

We also understand some people worry that public recognition can create tension between instructors or schools. We respect that concern, participation is always optional, and our goal is unity, appreciation, and charity, not debate.

If you would like, we would love to highlight your work in a respectful way, your logo or promo can be featured on the event page, displayed on the big screen during the night, and your name can be mentioned on stage as a thank you, without implying endorsement.

If you have questions, ideas, or feedback that helps keep this positive for everyone, please reach out anytime. Even if you choose not to participate, we still respect you and appreciate what you do for the community.

The Golden ORA Dance Awards 2026 is proudly organized by Ora for Good .

Golden ORA Dance Awards 2026, FAQ

Clear answers about the event, charity purpose, recognition approach, and community comfort, written to keep things positive and respectful.

✨ Recognition and appreciation ✨ Community first ✨ Giving back to CHEO

The Golden ORA Dance Awards is a community recognition and appreciation evening created to celebrate meaningful contributions within the dance community, while bringing people together for a positive and memorable night.

No. This event is focused on recognition, appreciation, and community, not competition. There are no rankings, no scoring, and no winners versus losers structure.

No. Instructors and schools are not evaluated, scored, or compared in any professional sense. Recognition is symbolic and community focused, it does not define who is better, it highlights contribution and appreciation.

📅 Date, February 15, 2026
⏰ Time, 7:30 PM – 1:00 AM
📍 Location, Sky Lounge on Market, Ottawa

The evening begins with a seated recognition and appreciation portion, followed by social dancing.

The social dancing portion focuses on Latin music, primarily Salsa and Bachata.

Yes. The event is designed to support CHEO, Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario, helping children and families in our local community.

100% of net proceeds from the event are donated directly to CHEO.

🔗 Share this answer, FAQ #7

CHEO was chosen because of its direct and meaningful impact on children and families in the Ottawa–Gatineau region.

At this time, tax receipts are not issued, as donations are collected at the event level.

Categories are designed intentionally and thoughtfully, with clear boundaries. Different roles and music genres are not mixed, and recognition is framed as appreciation, not ranking.

The process is structured and transparent, with defined criteria to avoid popularity only outcomes. The goal is to keep decisions explainable and respectful if questions arise.

Participation is completely optional. Categories are narrowly defined, recognition is appreciation based, not comparison based, and the overall goal is unity and charity, not debate.

Logos and photos are only used with permission and are presented respectfully and professionally, without implying endorsement unless explicitly agreed upon.

Names, titles, and images are reviewed carefully to ensure accurate and professional representation aligned with each person’s role in the community.

That is completely okay. This is a community initiative and participation is always optional. We respect every individual, instructor, and school, choosing not to participate does not imply disagreement or negativity.
