DIRECTOR’S MESSAGE/UPDATES
Good day everyone!
This is Brian Torner and like most, I am in self-imposed isolation at home in Toronto.
It is the spirit of freedom in the video filmed impromptu in Havana 2018 below which inspires me to connect with you all today.
As I write this the world’s nations are sharpening their measures to help “flatten the curve” in the COVID19 global crisis. Sadly, it seems it will be a bit longer still, until we can connect on or around the dance floor at The Continental Dance Club…

I want to applaud all of the FIRST RESPONDERS, my dearest inner circle of friends, mentors, teachers, colleauges and other artists who have helped me stay positive in self isolation, but most particularly I want us all to pause for a moment to THANK my octogenarian parents, Ernst Torner CA & Ursula Torner with WERRA Management, the founding members of TORNER PARTNERS Public Accountancy Practice LLB (AN “ESSENTIAL” BUSINESS in the era of COVID19 RESPONSE), as known today working from 3141 Wharton Way, Mississauga. ERNZI and USCHI recently celebrated in a quiet family & friend circle their 60th wedding anniversary!
On behalf of the Torner Family owners of The Continental Dance Club, we share in your concern, wish you all good health, strength and hope to endure these difficult times … and we look forward to seeing everyone stronger than ever real soon!
TODAY, we send a big hello and cyber hugs to EVERYONE & THAT WE MISS OUR DANCERS…
