The aim is for Canadians to discover dance and the joy it brings.
“It’s an event that welcomes every Canadian of all ages, of all abilities, to come and enjoy dance with us,” said event organizer Cécile Ferandier-Sicard.
Participants learn a choreography, either by watching a video-tutorial, or taking part in local workshops ahead of the big day.
