Performance at Christie Gardens (February 2024)
This year we had the opportunity to perform at one of the Dancing With Parkinson’s locations in Toronto; Christie Gardens. A dozen of our dancers performed a mini-show for about 80 residents, and we’re not sure who had more fun ~ us or the audience!

2021 was another cyber fundraising event for Dancing with Parkinson's (DWP), but that did not stop team PushPULL from raising money to support such a great program! We are thrilled that we topped our fundraising efforts from the previous year by raising $1462 for DWP! A big 'thank you' to everyone who contributed! (May 2021)

The members of PushPULL Dance would like to acknowledge with humility and respect that we dance on the traditional territories of the Anishinaabe, Mississauga, Haudenosaunee and Huron-Wendat peoples, as well as on the unceded Anishinaabe Algonquin territory. We acknowledge that Toronto is covered by Treaty 13 signed with the Mississaugas of the Credit, and the Williams Treaties signed with multiple Mississaugas and Chippewa peoples. We honour and recognize the enduring presence of all First Nations, Métis and Inuit, as well as all First Peoples worldwide. As with all things meaningful, words matter, but actions matter more. Let these words be a reminder of the work that is still to be done.
