Overview

Hart House Theatre proudly hosts Canada’s largest university dance festival – The Hart House U of T Festival of Dance (FoD).

Created 28 years ago as an avenue to provide dance groups on campus the opportunity to perform on stage for an audience, The Hart House U of T Festival of Dance has now grown into a celebration of the diversity and prosperity of the U of T dance community. Past events have included over 60 different dance pieces, well over 200 performers and an impressive variety of dance forms including jazz, ballet, ballroom, modern, contact improv, hip-hop, musical theatre, Irish, Latin, K Pop and Egyptian belly dancing, just to name a few. With such an abundance of dance groups associated with U of T, participation in the festival is a great opportunity for dance groups to interact, collaborate and promote their own work and ventures.
