DanceWeekend

“The best event in dance”

Our flagship event is a sumptuous 2 - 3 day dance festival chocked full of talent, performance, innovation and education, companies, culture, and exceptional opportunities. For our Dance Ontario community to showcase all of its magic... And for the general public to enjoy, engage and be thoroughly moved by all aspects and genres of dance.

DanceWeekend is an Impressive, Exhilarating Celebration

Over its storied 30-year run, DanceWeekend has evolved into a vibrant must-see extravaganza that actively builds creative, networking and organizational bridges. Between our members, the public at large, emerging and established audiences, and one another.

Ballet. Flamenco. Hip Hop. Indian Classical. Egyptian. Chinese. Contemporary. (And everything in between and unfolding!)

DanceWeekend Has a Distinct Flavour All Its Own

Featuring hundreds of dance artists, videos, interactive webinars, interviews and companies, DanceWeekend’s stunning smorgasbord of culture and talent grows richer and more far-reaching year after year.

With ongoing support from Canadian Heritage, The Canada Council and an extraordinary community of partners, sponsors and volunteers, DanceWeekend continues to wow - and expand - the dance community.
And consistently deliver on Dance Ontario’s promise to educate, showcase, entertain, promote, and provide performance and other opportunities for artists.
