Djenane Saint Juste's work and company is based in Traditional Haitian Dance and folklore, which is a living cultural art form deeply connected to her spiritual and cultural heritage. In Ayiti pap mouri (Haiti will not die), Saint Juste weaves the political, social, historical and cultural aspects of Haiti into the story of a young woman. "Ayiti," was tragically hurt by three jealous women: "Colonization," "Politics," and "Catastrophe." Triumphantly, in the end she finds "los guedes" where she dies and reborn as a stronger woman.

Ramón Ramos Alayo fuses Afro- Cuban Folkloric, Popular and Modern dance. Though these dance forms coexist and
influence one another, rarely are they merged seamlessly in one chorographic composition. Ramos re-works excerpts from both Traces (2007) and Three Threes (2007) and Narciso Medina's seminal work, Metamorphosis. Spanning decades, the dancers travel the complex history of Cuban dance from Danzon to Modern.
