An all night dance-a-thon was held on May 3rd, 2013 where top law firms in Toronto competed to shimmy and shake to raise the most funds in their teams all in support of Variety Village. Taking place at Stratus Restaurant inside the Toronto Athletic Club in the financial district of downtown Toronto. The special guest host of the evening was comedian and actress Carla Collins. She’s dubbed as “Canada’s Tina Fey”, and she was quite a hoot. There were lots of fun dancing demos ranging from Zumba, Salsa, Hip Hop and Belly Dancing.
Congrats to the Cambridge Group of Clubs and all those who participated in Dare 2 Dance for raising $60,000 for Variety Village! Be sure to keep up with all the action at the Cambridge Group of Clubs.
