The Ghost Is Dancing is a Canadian indie-pop conglomeration formed out of a group of friends in Toronto, Ontario.

Their first show was performed in August 2004 to commemorate the end of their residency at 2 French Avenue. The original lineup consisted of Kevin Corlis on drums, Jim DeLuca and Jamie Matechuk on guitar and vocals, Odie Ouderkirk on keyboard, Eric Krumins on bass, Jasmine Landau on trumpet and violin, and Gabrielle Nadeau on accordion. Since then, The Ghost Is Dancing has gathered considerable speed (and size), playing shows with The Hidden Cameras, Rogue Wave (band) and The Most Serene Republic, and adding multi-instrumentalists Alt Altman, Ben Deschamps and backing vocalist Lesley Davies. Their self-titled EP was released in January 2006, and they released their debut full-length album, The Darkest Spark, in June 2007.
