Join host Christine Jowers, editor of The Dance Enthusiast and Caribbean artists, Candace Thompson (Trinidad & Tobago); Nélida Tirado (Puerto Rico); Nadia Dieudonné (Haiti); and Davalois Fearon (Jamaica) for a stellar evening of performance & conversation as they introduce us to the beauty and complexity of Caribbean culture and performance. Each artist performing and speaking as part of Island to Island - Moving Caribbean in New York City is known for their consummate artistry as well as their active engagement with their communities as teachers and leaders.

Stated Jowers, founder and editor-in-chief of The Dance Enthusiast: “Being a person from the US Virgin Islands with family and ancestry throughout the West Indies, I am especially excited to speak to my fellow Caribbeanas about their work here, on the island of Manhattan. What it is that they as Caribbean artists hold on to and value? What can we discover about this part of the world through art?  Is there a Caribbean identity? What stereotypes exist and how can we break them?  Most especially I am excited that we will be able to share these artists’ meaningful work in such an intimate way with our audiences.”

What is an Enthusiastic Event! ?

Enthusiastic Events! provide audiences a one-of-a-kind, insider experience with dance. TDE invites dance artists and prime-movers from other fields to the same party for an evening that is a cross between a salon performance, panel discussion, and a gathering at your best friend's home. Our distinguished guests share their performances and stories with you, then everyone is welcomed to converse and mingle over delicious snacks. The emphasis is on helping people feel “at home” with dance and introducing them to dances’ larger connection the world.
