The 2nd World Dance Festival: Dancing Across Cultural borders will take place over two days: Saturday, November 4th and Sunday, November 5th both shows at 4 pm at Roulette Intermedium, 509 Atlantic Avenue, Brooklyn, NY. The event is presented by Lotus Music & Dance in partnership with Robert Browning Associates with support from the National Endowment for the Arts and the New York State Council on the Arts and features Okinawan, Tibetan, Flamenco, Korean, Filipino and Mexican dance! The first day of this global gathering features the graceful folk dances and elegant classical dances that reflect the rich culture of Okinawa, Japan’s southernmost archipelago, performed by acclaimed Okinawan-born and Tokyo-trained dancer Junko Fisher and company; the lively and acrobatic Tibetan Ral-pa dance as well as the ritual masked opera dance (Ngonpoa Ringa) performed by graduates of the Tibetan Institute of Performing Arts in Dharamsala; and soulful flamenco with the ensemble of Sol La Argentinita, featuring Xianinx Barrera.
 
The second day features Kinding Sindaw, New York’s stellar group dedicated to reclaiming, recreating and preserving indigenous Philippine culture and traditions particularly from the island of Mindanao; the Sounds of Korea, under the direction of Sue Yeon Park, noted master artist and recipient of the NEA National Heritage Fellowship, in an engaging repertoire that includes the mesmerizing fan dance the dazzling drums of ecstasy; and the vibrant Ballet Fiesta Mexicana Ybarra founded by Yloy Ybarra in 1999 that celebrates the rich and diverse dances of Mexico’s various regions.
 
Join us for a celebration of authentic world-class dance and music, crafts and meet and greet the artists. Learn about the common threads these cultures share and what makes them unique—all right here in Brooklyn!
