The first Hop took place in the crosswalks at 4th Avenue and Bank Street in Ottawa in the Spring of 2002. Since then, dozens of Hops have hoppened in Ottawa as well as in Montreal, Toronto, Vancouver and Bologna (Italy) with dozens of participants. In 2004, TeleQuebec in partnership with TV5 (Belgium) produced and presented a documentary on the GDE. TVOntario presented a short documentary on the GDE for its Studio 2 program in 2003.

The Exchange has produced the works of emerging choreographers in two evening-length presentations: Night Stills (2004) and Spring (2003), as well as co-producing Dusk Dances with CORPUS (2004).

As there are many clouds in the sky, so are there Clouds of Grasshoppas popping up all over the place! To participate in Hops near you, check out the locations of the Clouds below. Several are under construction as we speak. Any Cloud may be contacted at grasshoppadance@yahoo.ca. New Cloud formations are also welcomed!!
