The Department of Culture has announced the 15th Kingstown Cooperative Credit Union (KCCU) National Dance Festival, themed ‘Dancepiration.’
The festival will take place over four weekends in September: the 14th, 21st, and 28th for the preliminaries, culminating in the Finals on October 12, 2024.
Participants will compete in five categories: Traditional and Creative Folk Dance in the first week, Modern Dance in the second, and Social/Ballroom and Hip-Hop in the third week.
This year’s festival will feature choreographies across all categories, including Solos in the Modern and Popular Dance genres, Duets in Modern, Social, and Hip-Hop, as well as Trios exclusively in the Modern Dance category.
Each week will spotlight a unique sub-theme:
Week 1: Traditional and Creative Folk – Echoes of the Past
Week 2: Modern – Elements of Motion
Week 3: Social & Popular – Glitz and Glamour
The festival will include participation from Primary and Secondary schools, along with Community Groups in both Junior and Senior categories.
