Dancing For Heaven

"Dancing for Heaven" is emerging as a beacon of light in Toronto’s underground rave scene. Operating since 2022, the event series prioritizes the curation of both sound and environment on an equal footing, constructing a harmonious atmosphere for attendees to experience. Dancing For Heaven is organized by HVN & ARD1N, both which are queer and non-binary DJ’s & producers. The two curate each event with a commitment to inclusivity and accessibility. Their aim is to hone in on the religious/ritualistic nature of nightlife and provide attendees both regular and new with an avenue to explore their rights to ecstasy and expression. Finding themselves deep in Toronto’s underground scene; Dancing For Heaven’s platform is used to uplift local artists both visual & musical (with a priority for BIPOC & LGBTQI+ people) in reaction to inaccessibility to arts institutions amongst marginalized people.
