Jason Reilly and Matthew Golding featured on Radio-Canada

Radio-Canada (French-language CBC) chose to report on the participation of two Canadians, Jason Reilly of the Stuttgart Ballet and Matthew Golding of Dutch National Ballet, in the recent Dance Open Festival in St Petersburg. It's about time the Canadian media started paying attention to the numerous Canadian ballet dancers who are enjoying stellar careers abroad. Footage and interview starts at 27:11 of this link:

Here is the English version:

I take issue, though, with the last sentence: " for both dancers it’s a chance to make a name for themselves among ballet’s elite."
Golding and especially Reilly have already made a name for themselves amongst ballet's elite! Canada's media are just slow on the uptake.

You can see the gala onlineon 100TV-channel website on May 12 at 8:20 a.m. Eastern Time.
