Mammalian Diving Reflex - Ballroom Dancing

Ballroom Dancing is an event organized by Darren O'Donnell for My Secret City - a part of Nuit Blanche, an all-night contemporary art event.
Ballroom Dancing is an all-ages dance party deejayed by kids in a gymnasium filled with over 2700 rubber balls. Ballroom Dancing brings adults and children together to dance to tunes selected and controlled by the kids. A safe playtime is fostered in order to counter the prevailing view that the public sphere is a place of danger, atomization and awkwardness rather than safety, communication and stylin' moves.
Music selected by kids from Parkdale Public School, deejay training by Rosina Kazi and Nicholas Murray and light designed by Rebecca Picherack.
Ballroom Dancing and Nuit Blanche happen from sunset at 7:01 p.m. on September 30 to sunrise at 7:15 a.m. on October 1, 2006 at University Settlement House, 23 Grange Road, just south of OCAD.
