CanAsian International Dance - Harbourfront

Friday, the Grade 7-8 class attended the annual CanAsian Dance show. Excellent show of 4 distinct and beautifully rendered performances that followed the tradional places of the Silk Road. Check out the video link on my side panel.

Such a pleasure when I get to participate in class events... as the Teacher-Librarian I rarely get out!

Excellent review in the GLOBE & MAIL, Saturday:
