Queer Dance Community:
For the Fred Astaire in you, this event "Swinging Out" brings together dance groups from across the queer community, demonstrating a brilliant array of dynamic styles: including country/western, latin/ballroom, square dancing, and swing. Each club brings about 10-25 dancers, and is sure to get you hoppin' again this year.

Queer Asian Youth:
Join us again this year as our east and southeast asian youth communities shake and spice up the musicals you have grown to love: an original mashup from musicals like High School Musical, Chicago, and Moulin Rouge. Queer Asian Youth (QAY) is an initiative of Asian Community AIDS Services.

Ote'a Tane:
A Polynesian group dance, this group has the unique distinction of being an all male hula troupe, unique even in the islands of Hawai'i. Come learn the tradition of Hula amidst a fun and uplifted social atmosphere, while breaking down the barriers and challenging the traditional stereotypes of the dance.

Shawnee Lee Talbot:
A truly gifted and shining two spirited aboriginal singer/songwriter from Toronto, we are excited to have Shawnee impart to us her rich experience and a few stories from this most important part of both our Canadian and queer community culture through her gorgeous, soulful voice.

Night At The Indies:
Night at the Indies proudly presents "Where Were You in the 80's?". Hosted by Gurbeen Bhasin, this event is an 80's flashback with heart with some of Toronto's most up and coming queer artists. A full piece band will accompany this one hour set which will feature comedy, spoken word/performance and live music.
