A spokesperson describes the event as follows:
“...roster of more than 200 artists from 21 diverse dance companies—all led by master teachers and choreographers—who will take the stage in this year’s two-day celebration of magnificent traditional world dance and music...
...Audiences can expect a brilliant tapestry of rhythm, movement, and storytelling that spans five continents, featuring work from Armenia, Bolivia, Cambodia, China, Congo/Brazzaville, India, Japan, Mexico, Peru, the Philippines, Spain, and the U.S.A. This year’s program will offer everything from the fiery passion of Spanish flamenco to the exuberance of Bollywood and classical Indian dance forms such as Kathak, Odissi and Bharatanatyam; from the thunderous power of Japanese Taiko to the primal energy of Congolese drumming; from the Andean highlands of Peru and Bolivia to the enduring legacies of Armenia, China, and the Philippines; to the traditional folk dances of Appalachia and today’s beats of urban American hip-hop and breakdancing..."
