Artistic Expressions

Then my darlings, this here very weekend September 3rd and 4th, it will be all about the Little Theatre as the group, Artistic Expressions, will be promoting a cultural exposé under the topic of showcasing the best of the region's and diaspora's dance in a showcase appropriately entitled 'Cultural Fusion', that promises to be an artistic treat and then some, as the two-day event will present two evenings of dance, bringing together diverse dance styles and cultures.

The first of two evenings will feature Cherylyn Lavagnino Dance, a New York City-based contemporary ballet company, alongside the time-treasured National Dance Theatre Company of Jamaica, and the second will feature the athletic Danza Contemporeana de Cuba led by Artistic Director Eduardo Rivera, choreographer of 'Sulkari', with featured selections from The National Dance Theatre Company.

Dears, it promises to be a cultural feast and nothing but, and a must-attend for the culture vulture and aficionado!
