NEW !! Check out FunkaBelly Family.

Join us on the fabulous first floor of the Dovercourt House and bring your funked-up friends!!. These parties are an invitation to let your hair down, whip out your favourite moves, and dance your heart out. With a warm setting that is the perfect cross between a club and a studio, the stage is set to move past inhibition and artifice into a state of true flow and pleasure in movement. The monthly theme is food for inspiration and a great excuse to dress-up - please know that you are welcome with or without costume.

Toronto's premier Global groove-meister, DJ Medicineman spins the tunes and each party features at least 3 amazing dance performances and surprise musical guests. The music will definitely rock you and get you dancing without the techno assault of most club music. Your hostess and mistress of shimmies, Roula, will keep it all humming and help grow the love.

Bring your zylls for selected tunes!
Bring your hair for a wicked group zaar!!
