Supported by the Toronto Arts Council, The Newcomers Dance Too! Program aims to promote healthy active living for newcomer and refugee women and girls to Toronto.

Settling into a new country can be one of the most stressful and emotionally draining processes in one’s life. Especially for those who do not speak the language, have a job, or have any friends or family to support them as they settle into their new home.

Sumera and some of Toronto’s wonderful dance artists, including Zahira from Dragon Fly Belly Dance Company, are happy to use the health benefits associated with dance and fitness to support the well-being of newcomers living in the Flemingdon Park community.

If you’re a newcomer woman or girl living in this community and are looking for a fun way to exercise, have fun, and meet other newcomers, please send a message below, along with your name and contact info.
