Warm Bellies, Warm Hands, Warm Hearts
As the nights grow colder, we gather to dance, to kindle warmth, and to strengthen the threads of our community. The care we create together does not end at the floor. It ripples outward, nourishing the communities where we live and move.
This year’s benefit supports the Daily Bread Food Bank and a local hats, scarves, socks and mitts initiative through our Baskets of Warmth. Food banks across Ontario are experiencing record-breaking demand in 2025, driven by rising costs of living, stagnant wages, and a lack of affordable housing. In 2024, visits to Daily Bread’s member food banks reached 3.75 million, a historic high compared to pre-pandemic levels. In January 2025, the City of Toronto officially declared a food insecurity emergency.
As we move through two 5Rhythms Waves of music and light the fire of our community hearth, we reach into our generous hearts to extend care beyond ourselves. Right here, we can make a difference, offering food for warm bellies, clothing for warm hands, and love that warms the heart.
Our neighbours and our global community need us so much right now, and we need each other. We are living in a polycrisis, pulled in many directions, and this night is a way of resourcing ourselves and nourishing our local community so that our attention, and our love can be turned generously in ways that ripple far beyond the dance floor.
All are welcome here: all bodies, races, religions, genders, sexual orientations, abilities and movement experience. NUUC is a wheelchair accessible venue.
