The dance forms showcased include Modern, contemporary, salsa, classical Indian, ballet, and hip-hop. The inaugural roster features regionally and nationally recognized dance companies, artistic directors, and choreographers, including SonKiss’d Dance Concepts (Chris Thomas), Texas Salsa Congress (Ruby Rivera), Houston Contemporary Dance Company (Marlana Walsh Doyle), The Pilot Dance Project (Adam Castan͂eda), Open Dance Project (Annie Arnoult), NobleMotion Dance (Andy and Dionne Noble), Mezclada Dance Company (Joel Aguilera), Vitacca Ballet (Kelly Ann Vitacca), and Creative Minds Collaborative (Nao Kusuzaki).

Each organization on the program has been shaped by the economy and people of the Bayou City, and this stunning evening of dance includes world premieres created on the grounds of this remarkable confluence of cultures.
