Diversity and creativity are most definitely adjectives to The Latin Choreographers Festival that will run from July 16th to July 18th in Dance New Amsterdam (DNA) on 230 Broadway in Lower Manhattan.

The Latin Choreographers Festival showcases talented choreographers who cross genres and cultural boundaries through powerful and innovative dance pieces through concert dance and the styles of Contemporary Ballet, Modern Dance and Contemporary Dance. It presents talented established, rising and new choreographers from New York and abroad. Past participants include choreographers from Mexico, Colombia, Puerto Rico, Cuba, Costa Rica, and Ecuador.

Ms. Verduzco concludes with signature quote, “let’s keep dance and opportunity ALIVE!”
