What makes InclusiV different from other events?2026-04-03T20:25:30+00:00

InclusiV is built on three pillars:

· Accessibility — physical, sensory, and social

· Community — everyone belongs

· Joy — movement, music, and connection without limits

Why did the event grow so quickly?2026-04-03T20:25:05+00:00

Because the community needed it. InclusiV filled a gap — a space where people of all abilities could participate fully, without barriers, pressure, or judgment. Word of mouth, community partnerships, and the event’s energy helped it grow year after year.

How did InclusiV begin?2026-04-03T20:22:40+00:00

InclusiV began nine years ago as a small but powerful idea shared by Neil and Xavier. They wanted to create a space where people of all abilities could dance, connect, and feel celebrated. What started as a modest community gathering has grown into one of Toronto’s most inclusive and joyful annual events.

Will FIFA World Cup or any traffic issues impact InclusiV?2026-04-03T20:18:35+00:00

No, FIFA will not be a factor during our event, games being held in Toronto do not take place on this date and based on the game schedule on the FIFA website, there are no games happening during our event and of the 3 games being played that day, they are taking place in Mexico and The US

Why did you change the name?2026-04-03T20:21:57+00:00

We decided to change the name to represent the new path we are going with this event. DanceABLE was the concept, InclusiV was birthed from DanceABLE. Change and evolution is constant 

What happened to DanceABLE?2026-04-03T20:24:34+00:00

DanceABLE is still happening only under a new name, InclusiV! The event started under the name DanceAble 9 years ago, highlighting its focus on accessible dance experiences. As the event expanded, the vision grew beyond dance alone — embracing community, connection, and celebration. The name evolved to InclusiV to reflect that broader mission.
