Music, Moods and Moves / 2019


A dance ensemble was created with four students from Jorge Luis Morejon's Orientation to Dance class. They danced to a sampler from Dafnis Prieto's Grammy Award Winner "Back to the Sunset." The dance piece also called Back to the Sunset recreated a story that involved a group of youngsters who meet every day to look at Miami's sunset as part of a youth ritual. It is during that time that they explore their relationship with each other in a playful manner by moving across each other, dancing with each other, showing off their dance skills. That playful time is short since the sunset only lasts a few minutes. Once the sun is down, they split and sadly walk away hoping to meet again the following day.
