Real People Dancing in Real Spaces
Our annual Porch View Dances (PVD) celebrates the stories of our local neighbourhood by taking dance out of the theatre and into our daily lives. Founded by Karen Kaeja and developed by Allen 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.
