Dan Laboni- Monkey Vault Parkour

Dan Laboni is the owner of Monkey Vault Parkour in Toronto, Ontario. During the Masters of Movement TrainingWeek Dan will open the doors to one of Canada’s leading Parkour gyms and train everyone in the basics of this incredible movement dicipline.

The Monkey Vault centre is a place for movement. Parkour, Art Du Deplacement, Freerunning, Street Acrobatics, whatever you want to call what you do, the base of each remains the same. Each requires discipline, each requires proper training. That’s why this place exists. That’s why the people inside it train so passionately. This place was created to inspire others to reach newer and higher levels, push people past their previous boundaries, and allow them to prove to themselves what they are made of. We all have monkeys inside us, but as we grow older this feeling, this passion for movement dies away. It shouldn`t. Come play with us, let us help you revive it.
