Bunch Family Dance

Taking family entertainment to a whole new level, Bunch is throwing a block party at Yonge-Dundas Square at this year's Luminato. It's a free outdoor bash where we'll bring old-school neighborhood flavour to the heart of modern Metro. Dance teachers will be on hand to teach your kids the Moonwalk and the Running Man and to show off their own wild style. You can also check out a massive installation by Toronto based, internationally famous architects, Kuwabara Payne McKenna Blumberg that will transform the dance floor!

Sunday, June 8th, 12-3pm
Yonge-Dundas Square (1 Dundas St. E)


Hosted by MC Abdominal with DJ Fase. Dance instruction courtesy of Street Dance Academy. With street games, a humongous chalk mural, Winking Circle's art bikes and a free raffle.
