Celebrate the art of dance with the London Dance Festival. We’ve got something for everyone! See London’s talented dance artists perform on two stages in the great outdoors, plus workshops for all levels, opportunities for the public to engage with interactive exhibits and perform on our stage, and a family-friendly dance party!
Thursday, June 30 – Dundas Place (Dundas & Talbot)
In partnership with London Heritage Council
7pm Ukwehuwe Connection Performance
7:30pm Dance Mob Workshop (King & Talbot)
8:30pm Festival Preview Performance
Plus the London Heritage Night Market
Learn the moves of the Dance Mob from the choreographers, then perform with them on our stage. The Dance Mob is easy for anyone to learn, and this year local musician Asante will sing his song “Diagonal” live at the performance. Then check out a festival preview performance by local artists.
Friday, July 1 – Canada Day
In solidarity with Indigenous peoples all across Turtle Island, the London Dance Festival will not be holding events on July 1st.
We encourage our community to bear witness to the intergenerational trauma that continues to impact Residential School survivors and their families and to learn more about this part of our collective history.
