Montreal dance studio joins Israel boycott, dropping classes in Ohad Naharin’s Gaga technique

JL;DR SUMMARY The Montreal dance studio, Studio 303, has joined a boycott against Israel, dropping classes in the Israeli-originated Gaga dance technique as part of the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) movement led by the Palestinian Campaign for the Academic and Cultural Boycott of Israel (PACBI).

Now, Dude, that's a name no one would self-apply where I come from. But then, there was a lot about the Dude that didn't make a whole lot of sense to me. And a lot about where he lived, likewise. But then again, maybe that's why I found the place s'durned innarestin'.
