The annual showcase of ProArteDanza, founded in 2004 by former National Ballet dancer Roberto Campanella, is always a must-see. Whether you’re there to admire the flawless technique or just want to see some seriously hot bodies, the company’s signature blend of ballet and modern styles makes for some of Toronto’s most explosive, technically complex dance works. Xtra’s Chris Dupuis chatted with two of the company hotties to find out what makes them tick.
