Artistic Expressions presents two evenings of dance, bringing together diverse dance styles and cultures, tomorrow and Sunday at the Little Theatre, Tom Redcam Avenue, St Andrew, in this year's 'Cultural Fusion'.

The first evening features Cherylyn Lavagnino Dance, a New York City-based contemporary ballet company, alongside the National Dance Theatre Company of Jamaica (NDTC). The second presents the athletic Danza Contemporeana de Cuba led by Artistic Director Eduardo Rivera, choreographer of 'Sulkari', with selections from the NDTC. Both nights will also feature special guest artistes and choreographers, including Italian guitarist Samuele Vivian, Natalie Chung, and Christina Gonzalez.

Artistic Expressions continues to be involved with promoting the growth of art, culture, poetry, music and dance in Jamaica. The founders have a keen understanding that culture and art are the underpinning of the preservation of many unique histories of peoples. Over the years, the company has hosted musicians and writers and, more recently, visual artistes and dance artists including Nobel laureate Derek Walcott, Lorna Goodison, Edward Baugh, Mervyn Morris, the French Ballet Jazz Company CIE Rick ODUMS, Della Manley and Dean Fraser, among others.
