The Fleck Dance Theatre at Harbourfront Centre hosts three days of dance performances from 29 companies at Dance Ontario's DanceWeekend '09, taking place Friday through Sunday. The festival, presented in association with Harbourfront's NextSteps Series, features live music and hundreds of dancers performing jazz, tap, contemporary, hip-hop, aerial, ballet, and modern dance. There are two commissioned pieces being presented, including "Water Mud Air Smoke" by Barbara Pallomina and Lucy Rupert, which takes inspiration from the paintings and principles of the Japanese Gutai art movement. The festival's roster changes every 30 minutes and audiences can stay for as long as they like. Dance films will also be shown in the lobby.
