-INTERNATIONAL WOMEN'S DAY 2014

The International Women’s Day has been celebrated the world over with events marking and celebrating the day since 1911. This year, the Dancing Damsels Inc., a registered non-profit dance promotions company, commemorated the day at the North York Memorial Community Hall, Toronto on March 8, 2014.  The event celebrated and recognized the social, economic and political success of women in our community. 

Dancing  Damsels invited a range of inspirational women who have changed and positively influenced lives of women and men alike. The event showcased women who have flourished in a variety of arenas, in settings that were until recent decades, male dominated. 


The Honorable Dr. Asha Seth, Canada’s first Indo-Canadian female Senator inaugurated the event by the lighting the traditional Indian lamp followed by the Canadian National Anthem. In her address, Dr. Seth presented a Greeting from Premier Stephen Harper to members of Dancing Damsels Inc. 

The key note address, on the International Women’s Day 2014 theme “Inspiring Change”, was given by Hedvig Christine Alexander, who has touched and changed lives of women in places as far as Afghanistan and Africa.

Bollywood numbers performed by Dhanwantry Kumari of Dancing Damsels, Born to Dance and The Trifecta thrilled the audience. Throwing a folk into the mix were dancers of Prima Dance School and members of the Marathi Bhashik Mangal. Bringing fitness through dance were Julieta Tabares of Zumbacan. GTA’s popular Esmeralda Enrique Spanish Dance Company and Hannan Belly Egyptian Dance Academy enhanced the truly international flavour through their traditional folk and belly dancing.
The guest speakers, Academician Ananya Mukherjee-Reed, Poetess Priscila Uppal, Councillor Dr. Raymond Cho, ICCADI Founder Shashi Bhatia, Executive Director of WMRCC Esther Enyolus and President of OWLE Jo-Ann Savoie, enlivened and spurred the audience by sharing their experiences and their vision for women in times to come.  Mayoral candidate Mr. John Tory further enlivened the organizers and audience with his surprise visit.
