Dancing in Trinidad
Trinidad and Tobago is the most southerly island in the Caribbean. Dance,
rhythm and song are synonymous with this twin island Republic! We are a
Caribbean nation, located not far from the north east coast of Venezuela.
To the visitor, dance in Trinidad is a new experience - they soon realise
that music, rhythm and culture are as normal as breathing in this place I
call home. With the ethnic mix that we have here it’s not surprising that we
have numerous cultural influences which have given us a lot of different
forms of dance. A great time to visit Trinidad would be at Carnival time.
Carnival usually falls anywhere between the second week in February to the
first week in March. It consists of a massive two-day celebration and
display of masqueraders and their costumes. Now the celebration begins way
in advance and just culminates with that parade. There are fetes. These are
large parties (sometimes hundreds to thousands of people) where the major
bands perform and the people just have a grand time. The predominant music
is Soca, which is an adaptation to the traditional calypso. Carnival is a
festive time, when people give way to wanton freedom, especially freedom of
bodily expression.
Dance has been described as the art of moving the body in a rhythmical way
(usually) to music, to express an emotion or idea, to narrate a story of
simply to take delight in the movement itself. To me, dance is indeed a
beautiful expression of self! Your senses are tuned! The sense of touch is
alive because you are dancing with another. He or she is holding you in a
particular way, maybe intimately. Your sense of sound is alive because the
music starts a positive feedback mechanism throughout you. You hear the
music, you know the song and it immediately sends brain waves to start
tapping the foot. This tap moves into a motion and before you know it your
entire body is moving to the pulsating beat of that rhythm!

Trinidad Dance Company |
AMIGOS BAILADORES Dance
Associates became a registered company in January of
1998, having been established a few years earlier by a small
group of Latin dance enthusiasts, in response to overwhelming
requests for quality Latin Dance tutoring.
With the benefit of a prior 5 years exploration of the various
social and Latin dances including Salsa, Merengue, Cha Cha Cha,
Rumba, Latin 3-Step, etc., our school now caters to a wide cross
section of Latin dance interests, providing tuition and special
workshops in these and other popular Latin and Ballroom Dance
favorites including Salsa, Mambo, Rumba, Cha Cha Cha, Argentine
Tango, Viennese Waltz, Quick-Step, Zouk, Bachata, Swing / Jive
and the ever popular SALSA Rueda.
With a team of 6 Dance Tutors and 6 Coaches, our group and
classes have since grown to over 850+ students and performers,
who are called upon to perform at various exhibitions and shows,
bringing a fun-flavored Latin element to these events.
It is our aim to continue to increase the exposure and uplift
the standard of this form of social and competitive dance, in
our continuing bid to promote "Dancing" as a healthy and
constructive alternative to social and personal entertainment.
For the coming year, we will continue to pursue development and
strive to further elevate the standard of dance for our students
and members and for all to enjoy.

Metamorphosis Dance Company
Address: 2A Dere Street Port of Spain Republic of Trinidad & Tobago
Phone/Fax: 868-625-3225
E-mail:
info@metamorphosisdance.com
www.metamorphosisdance.com
As its name suggests, Metamorphosis provides an
opportunity for young local dancers to metamorphose into able, professional
dancers as preparation for professional dance careers, usually abroad.
Metamorphosis was formed in November 1994 by a group of three teachers from
the Caribbean School of Dancing - Nancy Herrera, Carol Yip Choy and Christel
De Souza (now residing in England), who were interested in establishing a
professional dance company. The company has since been joined by Gillian
Merry, also a teacher in the school. The company is currently comprised of
sixteen dancers. Once integrated into the company, all dancers are expected
to be proficient, at a minimum, in classical ballet and modern dance. Most
of the company members have also achieved high levels of proficiency in
Afro-Caribbean folk dance, Jazz and Tap. The majority of the repertoire is
modern and contemporary.
The company has worked and continues to work in close collaboration with
various local and international artists, such as the Lydian Singers,
Trinidad and Tobago's leading choir; American choreographer Reggie Wilson;
prominent Caribbean choreographer Noble Douglas; former Martha Graham
soloist Peter London; leading Caribbean director Tony Hall; impresario
Aubrey Adams; master drummer Everald "Redman" Watson; choreographers Sonja
Dumas, Dave Williams and Richard Lessey; the late Carlisle Chang, designer,
and the late Beryl Mc Burnie, Trinidad and Tobago's Grande Dame of Dance.
It has also been active in community outreach through its presentation,
"Gabriel - Your Angel Lives in You", a self-esteem project for young people,
conceptualized and choreographed by Sonja Dumas.
Metamorphosis continues to build its repertoire around contemporary works,
many of which have relevance in a Caribbean context. The company aims to
continue to develop dancers and to share this work locally, regionally and
internationally.
