Shake off the winter chill and join us for Spring Thaw, Toronto’s high-energy contra dance weekend! We're absolutely delighted to be able to once again welcome dancers from all over. Held in the heart of the city, this lively event brings together dancers for a weekend of unforgettable music, joyful movement, and community spirit.
This year, we’re thrilled to welcome the legendary Will Mentor (Vermont), bringing his signature clear calling and infectious enthusiasm to the dance floor. Providing the pulse and drive, Stomp Rocket (New England) will keep your feet flying with their dynamic, high-energy tunes that blend tradition with an irresistible groove.
But wait, there's more. We also have Toronto favorites Jon Cannon (Hamilton) & Adam Iredale-Gray (Toronto). They'll be playing some amazing music for the afternoon dance.
Come celebrate spring with friends old and new—whether you’re a seasoned dancer or have only come to a few dances, Spring Thaw promises a weekend of warmth, rhythm, and pure contra dance joy!
Put some spring in your step - come dance with us!
