Cinderella, a new, original dance production, will be presented on Wednesday, June 8th, at Lewis Auditorium in downtown St. Augustine by Zoika’s Dance.
Fun for the whole family, this fresh retelling of the classic fairytale combines classical ballet with contemporary dance genres including tap, hip hop, contemporary, jazz, and ballroom dance. Performances will be presented at 2pm and 7pm on Wednesday, June 8th at Lewis Auditorium, 14 Granada Street.
Director and choreographer, Zoika Garcia, has called upon the talents of professional dancers to join the cast of young dancers.
“We are thrilled to tell this beautiful fairytale through the language of dance,” Director Zoika Garcia explained. “And we are very excited to include so many vibrant, contemporary dance styles along with classical ballet! It is exciting for both the audience and the dancers.”
Garcia, who is a former professional ballet dancer from Cuba, is also motivated to share the magic of Cinderella with members of the com.munity who might not otherwise have the chance to attend. She has partnered with local nonprofit, Fostering Connections, to provide a block of tick.ets for local foster children and their foster parents to attend the shows. Local financial sponsors of the production are making this possible.
