Celebrate the joy of moving in wheeled bodies with us!

Drop-in Wheelchair Dance Classes for kids and adults July 9 – Dec 10. Funded by the Toronto Arts Council.

Led by Shay Erlich and Paulina Drohomyrecky, we focus on skills for wheelchair users that will take you from the grocery store to the dance floor. We can’t make the curb cuts magically level, but with dance skills like these you can learn how to stay upright no matter what pothole season throws at you.
