Dance
Canada is home to world reknowned ballet companies such as the Royal Winnipeg
Ballet; the Grands Ballets Canadiens; and the National Ballet of Canada. They
have been the home base and stepping stone to international careers for dancers
such as Karen Kain and Evelyn Hart. Fans of modern dance throughout the world
are delighted by the performances of Canadian troupes that include: La La La
Human Steps, the Toronto Dance Theatre, Dancemakers, Holy Body Tattoo and O
Vertigo. Canada is also home to a wide range of dance styles celebrated in festivals
such as the CanAsian Dance Festival, the Fringe Festival of Independent Dance
and the Kalanidhi Dance Festival, and companies such as Chinook Winds.
