Belinda McGuire Dance Projects and Callahan Connor Join TOES FOR DANCE FESTIVAL, 12/11-13

The TOES FOR DANCE 2015 FESTIVAL will present two unique solo performances featuring Belinda McGuire Dance Projects and spoken word artist Callahan Connor (C-Command), December 11-13, 2015 at Aki Studio Theatre at Daniels Spectrum.

New York City's all-male MADBOOTS DANCE has withdrawn from the festival due to a medical situation.

Led by TOES FOR DANCE Co-Artistic Directors David Norsworthy and Kristen Carcone, TOES FOR DANCE 2015 FESTIVAL merges dance and theatre with a mission to share art and connect people.

THREE MUSES is a spectacular one-woman dance event featuring esteemed solo performer, Dora Award-nominated Belinda McGuire. Hailed by the Toronto Star as "riveting", Mississauga-born McGuire is a graduate of The Juilliard School and has performed internationally while planting roots in Toronto. THREE MUSES features solo works choreographed by Sharon B. Moore, Idan Sharabi and Doug Varone alongside one of McGuire's own signature works, all performed by McGuire.

The Living Shh is a spoken word psychedelic odyssey inspired by freestyle rap. Created and performed by C-Command, his rhyme-scape is a lucid dream where surreal ideas flutter, fuse and explode. This quest for knowledge is dizzying, but laughter and music are constant companions. In 2013 C-Command placed 2nd in the Canadian Individual Poetry Slam Championship.

TOES (The Outreach and Exchange Strategy) FOR DANCE supports and develops the professional contemporary dance community by creating unique and valuable platforms for artistic exchange, public engagement and dance education.
