Join us for an exceptional party as Just Dance will be celebrating:

30 seasons... 700+ events... 30000+ tracks played... 65000+ dancers... thousands and thousands of dollars donated to local charities!

Just Dance started with Abheeru's desire to create small dance evenings where he and his friends could dance freely. No one could have predicted that over the next 30 years it would have grown into an amazing dance event; a place for music community expression gifting (JD is nonprofit and has been donating its proceeds) and of course... dancing!

The evening will feature:

PERSPECTIV is the dynamic duo of Shamil & Jason originally hailing from Moçambique. Well-known for stellar performances both locally and around the globe they weave their multicultural backgrounds into a story that takes audiences traveling through the diverse sounds of the world without leaving the dancefloor.

Navigating through frequencies that merge organic instruments with deep electronic elements they skillfully infuse funky rhythms that span from Latin America to their mother continent of Africa. Perspectiv reveals a wild passion for transcending the boundaries of different genres all the while keeping the sweet vibe high!

Beyond their renowned DJ sets Perspectiv has also produced a copious amount of music that has been released on several recording labels. Additionally they have created a flourishing dance event brand; Crossing Worlds.

BATUCADA ABRACE a collective of 15 Brazilian drummers musicians and singers! Batucada's gatherings are dynamic events that weave joy and musical expressions with infectious drums and voices that resonate powerfully and move dancers to a frenzy! Their performances are interactive as audiences are moved to dance sing along and even to play with them.

They use the universal language of rhythm to forge connections that transcend cultures. Their music celebrates and amplifies a message of joy that extends beyond art as drumming is not just about rhythm; it’s about community memory and the power of collective sound.

KIRTAN VANCOUVER & RISING SUN. Following the optional early active meditation and before the dance 4 members of two kirtan collectives will offer us a chanting experience. A kirtan is a musical form of sacred mantras chanting accompanied by instruments with optional audience participation that can open the heart and evoke feelings of compassion joy and inner peace.
