From the rhythm of the drums to the storytelling woven into Caribbean movement, internationally renowned choreographer Brice Vick says Trinidad and Tobago’s dance culture inspired him to connect directly with local talent through a special workshop this week.

Mr. Vick says Trinidad and Tobago’s deeply rhythmic and expressive culture made hosting a workshop here feel like a natural fit.

“It’s something about Caribbean dance that moved me. It’s the drums. Again, it’s the storytelling. And it’s the musicality that they have. And I know that they have so much talent out there where they don’t get an opportunity to have teachers from LA, New York, Miami, big name cities that come there and teach classes. So I wanted to give back, and I honestly don’t even want to say ‘give back’. I actually want to come and workshop them and let them workshop me as well.”
