Porch View Dances 2019: Seaton Village

In 2019, Kaeja d’Dance returned for its 8th annual Porch View Dances! On opening night, audience members celebrated the newly inaugurated Porch View Dances Lane in Seaton Village. Then they joined Maurycy on a tour through the neighbourhood. Along the way, they saw dances performed by everyday people (families, friends, and even strangers!) on porches and lawns and vignettes danced by professionals in the most unexpected places. The tour ended in a participatory Flock Landing finale, a gentle and inclusive group movement experience. PVD 2019 was performed from Wednesday July 17, 2019 to Sunday July 21, 2019.
