July 17 to 21, 2024
Real People Dancing in Real Spaces.
Join us for our 13th annual Porch View Dances (PVD), as we celebrate the stories of our local neighbourhood by taking dance out of the theatre and into our daily lives. Founded by Karen Kaeja, PVD is a one-of-a-kind community dance event that brings together creators and everyday folk from around Tkaronto, some of whom have never danced before, to create unique performances in Seaton Village, Toronto.

Mal says, "PVD is a special event that brings a 'small town feeling' into the heart of a large city. Witnessing the neighbours interact with the show, performers and audiences is just one of the many hidden gems within the production process."
