M-DO TTE Holliday Bazaar (Saturday December 19 2009)

Stroll down any neighbourhood in downtown Toronto and you can see, hear, smell, taste and sense the evolution of community.

Chhandam Dance Company members perform highly exacting Kathak north Indian classical dance in its traditional form, set in an environment of Indian splendor.
