Founded by a team of two visionary brothers, artistic director Paulo and choreographer Rodrigo Pederneiras, this ensemble of “arguably some of the best dancers on the planet” (The Globe and Mail) revolutionized contemporary dance with an exotic, vibrant fusion of ballet, modern, and hip-swiveling Brazilian styles. To celebrate its fortieth anniversary, the company brings breathtaking new works that “ooze perfection.” (Critical Dance). 8 pm at 1419 Basin Street. nobadance.com.
