Roger Sinha, artistic director, choreographer and dancer founded Sinha Dance in 1991. Since then, the company has more than 10 pieces to its repertoire.

The Agora de la Danse hosted the show for the 2001-2002 program and 7 performances were presented. This creation is born from a collaboration that keeps flourishing between the two Canadian choreographers. | Roger Sinha, artistic director, choreographer and dancer founded [http://asiancanadianwiki.org/wiki/User:Sinhadanse Sinha Dance] in 1991.
