When I think of dance...

Both Germany and Canada are two important nations for dance. While their national history is different, many intersecting points have developed since Elsie Salomon left Montreal for England in 1937 to study with the exiled German choreographer Kurt Jooss. We have invited journalists, publicists and organizers from both countries to describe their view of the dance in the other country. Discover this kaleidoscope of impressions!
