For our 3rd Annual Subway Dance Party, around 250 people of all ages arrived downtown with their mp3 players and dance shoes ready. The mission encourages all participants to bring their own music, and then dance to it on the subway. It starts with just one person dancing, and then slowly builds to the whole train. Enjoy the video recap first, and then check out the photos and report.

After the success of our two previous Subway Dance Parties, we’re encouraging people to organize their own transit Dance Parties in cities around the world on June 13th, the same day as our annual(ish) event in Toronto. If you’ve got a subway system, or some form of mass transportation (Subway, Streetcar, Monorail, Trolley) then get involved and organize your own ride.
If you want to be the leader for your town’s ride, create a Facebook event and post a link to it in the comments below so we can promote it on this page!
Time to show us your skills!
Improv In Toronto is well on the way to becoming a leader in Toronto free and fun events. We have held Massive Waldo Searchs, Crazy Dance Partys, and Awkward No Pants Rides. All the while though, we’ve been missing something. We REALLY need a clear and defining LOGO. And you can give it to us!
The guidelines are quite open: make us something cool and classy that we can put up on our website, facebook group, and most importantly…ON T-SHIRTS! YAY.
Here’s the info you need:
We are called: IMPROV IN TORONTO
The short form is: IT
What do you get out of it? A free t-shirt, a $25 gift certificate, copious amounts of praise, as well as having your work shown all over the internet!
Any questions regarding the competition can be written in the comments section of this post, and will be answered immediatly.
All submissions* can be emailed to admin@improvintoronto.com
*By submitting your work to us, you are giving us full use and control over the image.
