JAZZ ROOTS DANCE COMPANY www.jazzrootsdance.com

Founded by world-renowned Jazz Dance icon Sue Samuels, Jazz Roots Dance Company is one of the only Classic Jazz Dance Companies in the world today. Their viewer friendly, cohesive repertoire showcases the exciting rhythms and distinctive styles of this true American art form and the dancers move the spirit of the audience by echoing every nuance of the music with their bodies.  Every show is a wonderful, flowing journey through a variety of moods, feelings and rhythms that leaves you energized and wanting more!

 

SILVA DANCE COMPANY www.cadny.org

Founded by renowned dancers Leandro Santos Silva and Janete Silva, the Silva Dance Company provides a masterful look into the art of Brazilian Dance. Borrowing from capoeira and Afro-Brazilian dance traditions, as well as contemporary and modern techniques, the Silva Dance Company offers an evolution in dance – a fusion of distinctly beautiful and rich art cultures. Pieces showcase the grace and fluidity of motion now common in western theater, while interweaving the inherent artistry of Brazil, a palpable rhythmic spirituality that captivates and compels audiences.
