From August 3-9, the 21st Dusk Dances Festival returns to Withrow Park for a week of exciting and entertaining dance works from Canada’s finest dance makers, including Esmeralda Enrique, Danny Grossman, Sylvie Bouchard & Marie-Josée Chartier, and Lua Shayenne.

Hosted by Brad Brackenridge, this weeklong festival features four 10-minutes pieces, plus the new addition of a final 30-minute work (evenings only) by renowned choreographer Tedd Robinson for Cloud 9. Each performance begins with the Cuban sounds of Guaracha Y Son and a free outdoor Salsa class with master teacher Miko Sobriera.
