Liberation on the Dance Floor is a collaborative research project that was started in 2020. Researchers at Toronto Metropolitan University in Toronto, Ontario initiated this work by exploring and analyzing the work of the Gay Community Dance Committee (GCDC), a Toronto-based community organization that was active in the 1980s. Now we are expanding our focus to better understand the politics of popular music and collective dance in lesbian and gay liberation movements across Canada.
