The 11th Annual CubaCaribe Dance Festival

CubaCaribe Dance Fest: "In Search of Soul"

For over a decade now, CubaCaribe has celebrated -- through pulsing rhythms and traditional movement -- the vibrant cultural and artistic traditions of the Caribbean and its diaspora. The 11th annual CubaCaribe Festival spotlights works representing "alma", or soul, by a trio of top companies: Alayo Dance Company, Duniya Dance Ensemble and Krissy Keefer's Dance Brigade, which has been described as "politically savage, dramatically rambunctious, wonderfully tasteless and utterly brilliant." Oakland's Laney College Theatre comes alive with an innovative fusion of Afro-Cuban modern, folkloric and popular Cuban dance mixed with African drum beats and socially relevant, technically brilliant, down-home, hilarious fun.
