“We have been going to this event for the past nine years and we are so excited for the tenth anniversary.

Bryan is my son, a lovely twenty-three-year-old, legally blind and living with seizures and hydrocephalus. He is a happy young man who loves music and dance. Your event is the only safe and inclusive dance I can take Bryan to. He loves it and I enjoy my time dancing and having fun with him.
Inspired to help individuals like my son and caregivers like myself, we founded a community-based charity called Bryan’s Place – offering a day program for adults with complex needs, respite care, support for caregivers, and Mom’s Camp a weekend away for seventy caregivers every year to recharge, connect and breathe.
We truly align with your mission and would love to contribute to making this celebration even more meaningful.
Congratulations on your tenth anniversary and the incredible impact you have created in the community.”

“It was wonderful to see families and friends enjoying music, movement and connection together along Toronto’s waterfront. DanceABLE created a joyful, relaxed environment where individuals could be themselves and families could be present and enjoy the moment.”

“DanceABLE was such a fun, interactive and truly welcoming afternoon for individuals and their loved ones. From the moment you arrived, it was clear that accessibility and inclusion were at the heart of the event. The sensory-friendly design made it easy for everyone to feel comfortable, supported and free to participate in a way that worked for them.”

“I’m deeply grateful to Variety Ontario and Substance Cares for hosting Danceable—an inclusive dance party that simply would not exist without their commitment and care. They created a safe, welcoming space where the community could come together, move freely, and share a truly joyful day.”

“DanceAble is an experience that is indescribable, but there is one word that comes to mind — joy!  The moment you walk in the feeling of joy, and the energy is intense and powerful.   Parents are beaming with pride and happiness watching their kids dance freely with no judgement and no inhibitions. It is beautiful and touching to see . The founders and their team created an incredible event that is thoughtful, intentional, and tailored to ensure everyone , especially the kids, are accommodated, made to feel special and cared for. BRAVO !”

“I attended DanceAble as a guest and was impressed by how welcoming and well run the evening was. Set along Toronto’s waterfront, the space created a welcoming atmosphere from the moment people arrived. The volunteers were friendly and engaged throughout the night, and the event flowed smoothly. Seeing members of the community, along with their families and friends, enjoying the space, the activations, and the music together was genuinely inspiring, and I was grateful to be present for it”

Angela Paoletta

“My wife, teenaged son and I all attended Danceable for the first time in 2025 and each came away uplifted and inspired.  It was a powerful reminder that all of us crave shared experiences where we aren’t treated as ‘different’, even though we undoubtedly have differences.

In creating a safe, inclusive space for people of all ages and abilities to feel welcomed, and to celebrate freely, Variety Ontario and Substance Cares demonstrated both the power of kindness and the transformative impact of genuine human connection.
We can’t wait for next year!”
