Versa-Style Dance Company at Ford Theatre, 9/17
Jackie Lopez, '04 (B.A., World Arts and Cultures/Dance)
Alumni-founded Versa-Style Dance Company will perform "Box of Hope" at the Ford Theatre this September.
"Versa-Style Dance Company fuses the vintage sounds of Motownand R&B with the exuberance of hip-hop - house, popping, locking, whacking and boogaloo - as well as salsa, merengue, cumbia and Afro-Cuban dance moves. Escape to the Ford Theatres for 'Box of Hope,' a joyous evening of L.A. street dance, spoken word and music under the stars on Saturday, Sept. 17 at 8 p.m.
Box of Hope takes its title from a little red box used by Versa-Style co-artistic director Leigh Foaad as a prop for a solo dance piece.
"That red box inspired us," explains Foaad's co-artistic director, Jackie Lopez. "It reminded us of Pandora - about how all the bad things escaped when she opened her box. When she was able to shut it, the only thing left inside was Hope.""— BWW Newsdesk, August 10, 2016
