It's a 3-day jam this year, Saturday through holiday Monday at the National Ballet School.
Arrive Friday for Toronto's weekly ecstatic dance and late-night contact jam at our traditional home, Dovercourt House (see details below).
Throughout the weekend, one beautiful studio is always available for open jamming.
The healing arts space is always available. Practitioners will be making offerings throughout the weekend.
