TORONTO, ON (May 31, 2016) – Harbourfront Centre invites Torontonians to get down and boogie on its outdoor dance floor for its sixth consecutive year of Dancing on the Pier.
Every Thursday, starting from June 23–September 1, dancers of all skill levels are welcome to move to sounds from around the globe performed by a live band on Toronto’s waterfront.
Featured styles include Flamenco/Rumba, Latin, Swing/Jazz, Electro-Swing, Celtic, Latin-Caribbean/Dancehall and more. Dance instructors will be available to give pointers, helping everyone get their groove on.
“Whether you sashay, shimmy or sway, Dancing on the Pier’s lineup is sure to get you on your feet, regardless of your level of experience,” says Diana Webley, Harbourfront Centre’s Senior Artistic Associate. “It’s an inclusive environment where everyone can feel free to let loose. Each Thursday is inspired by our upcoming summer festivals, with styles ranging from bolero to big band and everything in between. And best of all, it’s free.”
