We decided that instead of having our two major subway events in the winter (The other being the No Pants Subway Ride) we would move the Subway Dance Party to later in the year. Unfortunately we had already had this years Subway Dance Party and you can’t have an annual event twice in a year.
Or can you? Instead of waiting a year and a half for the next Subway Dance Party we decided to have a continuation of the winter event.
Here are the full details for our next mission, the Subway Dance Party 2.5. Please take the time to read all of the instructions on this page.

Our 2nd Annual Subway Dance Party took place on Saturday, February 21. Around 450 people participated this year, making it at least 20 times bigger than last years. If you’re unfamiliar with the Subway Dance Party, it’s a very easy concept. Once on the subway, a couple people will begin dancing while listening to music on their mp3 players. At first they get weird looks, and a lot of people laughing at them. Slowly though, more people begin joining in on the dance. Over the next couple stops the dance party gains in size, until the whole subway is in motion, and yet this is all done silently!
Everyone is invited to participate in Improv In Toronto’s 2nd Annual Subway Dance Party.
This is a silent dance party on a subway. All participants come with their OWN MUSIC, on an ipod or mp3 player. We will get on the subway and one by one start dancing, until the whole train is dancing. And yet seemingly to no music

The Subway Dance Party is exactly what it sounds like. We dance on the subway! But we have a twist, it is done silently:
Everyone attending the mission brings there mp3 player or iPod loaded full with fun dance music, and then we all sit around the subway inconspicuously. Once everyone is ready, one person will stand up a begin to dance, then another, etc. We’ll stagger people joining in over the next couple stops so that to the people on the subway it seems completely random and unplanned. As far as they can tell, we all just felt like joining in with the original person.
Last year’s Subway Dance Party:
The mission will baffle thousands of subway riders, and gives everyone a chance to fulfill there OTHER lifetime dream (the first was riding the subway with no pants), dancing on the subway!
