In fall 2024, the Dance Together Festival returned to York Region for the third year. Working in partnership with Richmond Hill Public Library and Assembly Park in Vaughan, the festival offered a total of four days of free dance programming during Ontario Culture Days.

With a total of seventeen workshops featuring 33 diverse artists and 460 participants, this year was pretty much a dance marathon! Community members were invited to take free dance workshops and enjoy relaxed performances with diverse professional dance artists. Styles included Swing (with a live band), Hip-Hop, Afro Fusion, Partner Dance 101, Salsa, Bachata, Bollywood, Bharatanatyam as well as Mexican, Ukrainian and European Folk Dances!
