Last week we were transported back in time as Ryesha Higgs and Dancescapes, came to Provo Primary to dance for us. Ryesha graduated from Provo Primary in 2008 and as she performed her dance, we remembered vividly, the talented little girl, who so enjoyed singing, music and dance and performing on stage while she was with us. It was truly wonderful to witness the now graceful young woman on the same stage, following her passion for the arts.
Choreographer Luis Kavouras and students from the University of Nevada Las Vegas’ (UNLV) Department of Dance have been visiting our islands since 2008 with the support and sponsorship of The Turks and Caicos Friends of the Arts Foundation. This year they performed some ballet, tap and a variety of modern dances.
We would like to extend a big thank you to Luis and all the dancers, and also to the TCFAF for making it happen. We were thoroughly entertained and very much enjoyed seeing everyone again. Learn more about Ryesha in this article – Ryesha Higgs takes a leap of faith. We wish Ryesha well as she pursues her goals in medical and dance studies and look forward to watching her dance on Broadway one day soon.
