An all-inclusive evening of music, dancing, and celebration of those with disabilities is happening on Toronto’s waterfront this month.

DanceAble 2022, taking place on Tuesday, June 28 at Cabana Pool Bar, invites members of the city’s disabled community to dance the night away alongside their family and friends.

The fifth annual event by Variety Ontario and Substance Cares is free to attend for those ages 10 and up, and all abilities are welcome to join the fun.


“Following two years of virtual events we’re thrilled to be able to celebrate DanceAble’s fifth year in person again at Cabana Pool Bar,” said Karen Stintz, president and CEO, Variety Ontario, in a release. “Our goal is to create an open and inclusive event with the help of our partners that celebrates those with disabilities and offers a place for them to be themselves, and to hopefully create some incredible memories.”

DanceAble was launched in 2017 to spotlight and celebrate those with disabilities. The event also gives families, businesses, and the local community an opportunity to connect through an inclusive and accessible experience for people of all abilities.
