| Center Stage: Fall Season Reviewed in Dance Magazine |
 |
Photo by Cheryl Mann, featuring Kirsten Shelton and Ricardo J. Garcia
|
Luna Negra Dance Theater's acclaimed Fall Season was also reviewed by Dance
Magazine critic Lynn Colburn Shapiro.
Latin rhythms, balletic virtuosity, and choreographic depth combined in Luna
Negra Dance Theater's 10th-anniversary season opener, "Ciclos," a provocative program that paid homage to the Latino heritage.
From the percussive AviMar (a premiere by Francisco Avińa), to artistic director Eduardo Vilaro's intensely emotional
Deshár Alhát (also a premiere), to the lyrical arcs of José Limón's 1956 There Is a Time, the 12 dancers
performed with polish and artistic authority.

| In the Wings: Meet Art Velasquez |
|
Luna Negra Dance Theater is fortunate to benefit from the leadership of a
diverse and exceptional group of individuals who serve on our Board of Directors. Currently, Luna Negra has 18 active members.
Art Velasquez, president and CEO of Baja Foods, is the most recent addition to our Board of Directors, joining in July of
2008.
Velasquez was brought up in a family with a strong tradition in philanthropy.
His grandfather, who was born in Mexico and immigrated to the United States when he was 10 years old, is a strong believer
in the power of education and is committed to helping his community through his church. He has served on over 20 boards throughout
his life. Following his legacy Art Velasquez (the third) serves on the board of Mercy Home for Boys and Girls, a catholic
organization helping children in need, Cristo Rey, which provides college preparatory education for the immigrant families
of Chicago's near southwest side, and most recently Luna Negra Dance Theater.
Says Velasquez, "I usually serve on boards that support children's education.
When I was invited to join the Board of Luna Negra Dance Theater, I felt the need to get out of my comfort zone and get involved
in an arts organization which mission, on top of performing works by Latino choreographers, includes strong education and
outreach programs that in fact further my commitment to children's education in our community."
Join Art Velasquez in supporting Luna Negra Dance Theater. CONTRIBUTE NOW!

Passioné: Full Radius Dance in Concert
Atlanta’s groundbreaking dance company in performance December 1 & 2 at 7Stages
The physically-integrated (dancers with and without disabilities) nonprofit modern dance company Full Radius Dance
announces Passioné: Full Radius Dance in concert, to be held December 1 and 2 at 7Stages Theatre.
This concert offers Atlanta audiences the opportunity to see the groundbreaking and pioneering work of Full Radius Dance.
The program includes the revivals of “Crawl/Climb”, “Song of Bernadette” and “Passione”.
Choreographed by Artistic Director Douglas Scott, “Passione” is inspired by the depth of feeling and majestic
sense of theatre that is found in grand opera, and received its premiere as part of Dance Synergy, a national tour celebrating
25 years of physically integrated dance in America. Also on the program is the premiere of “Send Me on My Way”,
a quartet for four women, inspired by random encounters.
Tickets for the performances are $15.00 for Adults, $12.00 for Children 12 & under and Seniors 55 & over. Click
for Reservations.
About Full Radius Dance:
Full Radius Dance is a modern dance company that presents mature, choreographically
complex works celebrating technique and physicality. Additionally, the company has a desire to share the talents of dancers
who have disabilities with the mainstream audience. The organization was initially founded by Douglas Scott in 1991 as a modern
dance company called Dance Force, Inc. In 1993, a new focus developed when Scott began working with dancers with disabilities.
In 1995, Scott and Ardath Prendergast founded E=motion, a company created with the specific intention of working with dancers
with disabilities. In 1998, E=motion and Dance Force combined to create Full Radius Dance.
Luna Negra on the

 | This summer, Luna Negra dancers
spent 2 weeks in New Orleans teaching dance to students age 11-18 in a nationally acclaimed program sponsored by the New Orleans
Recreation Department (NORD) and the New Orleans Ballet Association (NOBA) Center for Dance. This was actually the second
company visit to New Orleans. We were there for 3 weeks last year and ended the program shortly before Katrina hit.
This
year, therefore, the residency was especially meaningful. Many of the students had been living in a state of constant flux
and uncertainty, moving from house to house or living in very precarious conditions. "The energy was different this year.
You could feel that the kids had been living under difficult circumstances," says dancer Vanessa Valecillos "but I am hopeful
that through the dance classes and the workshop we could give them an outlet to express their feelings of anger, sadness and
hopelessness."
Ricardo Garcia, who taught modern dance classes notes: "The younger students were exited about the
material given in class and in rehearsals. Some had real potential to go further with the art form. However, others,
mainly teenagers, were a bit rebellious and needed to learn discipline and how to achieve goals. It was a challenge and I
learned a lot from it. I think the fact that we went to New Orleans, gave lessons, performed and interacted with this
community was very important. NOBA is one of the few organizations in the United States dedicated to present only dance
and I feel our contribution was very important to its survival."

DON’T MISS: The 3th intl. Salsa Congress Munich (Germany) 3 – 5 November 2006 www.salsacongress-munich.de You
can order the following offers now: DVD of the 4th Intl. Salsafestival Hamburg 2006, 30 Euros Specialprice valid for
orders and pays before Sept, 10th -------------------------------------------------- Dear Sir/Madam, The
4th. International Salsafestival Hamburg was a huge success! More than 2500 participants from about 46 different countries
came to share workshops, shows and great parties! We thank you very much, because you were the reason for this success
and without you we couldn´t have done it! We also really appreciate the support of those who believed in us and we like to
thank our partners, which you will find on our homepage! Because of renovation of the big hall, we had to change this
year to alternative rooms. Next year you will find again the modernized big hall to which you are used to! Many dancers
enjoyed a lot of fantastic workshops. Unfortunately some of the teachers couldn´t come. Although we didn´t have any influence
on the causes, we want to say sorry for that. Between Frankie Martinez and his management (coly david from New York) were
problems in coordinating his schedule. But we are proud and happy, that we found Franklin Diaz as substitute and like to thank
him for his flexibility! In the name of Alex da Silva we apologize: He was already at LAX Airport, when he had to cancel
his flight, because his passport wasn’t valid anymore. For further information he offers to contact him: adasilva@hotmail.comWe were also surprised, when Francisco Vasquez called us, to tell us that he couldn´t fly, because as he is often in Europe
he has no permission to fly to Europe again until autumn. As a kind of compensation you will find the workshops, that
he designed especially for the Salsafestival in Hamburg a video download on his website: reybarcena.com/media/Untitled2.wmv Alex
and Francisco promised to be there again next year! As compensation we offer the participants of the Salsafestival
Hamburg 10% reduction on the ticket of the Munich Congress from the 3, to 5. of November 2006. The 5th . International
Salsafestival Hamburg will be from the 20th to the 22th of July 2007 in Hamburg! All workshops and Parties will be in 1
location (CCH Congress Centrum Hamburg), on more than 3000 m˛, in fully air conditioned modernized big hall! We want to
organize the festival as good as possible and therefore we need your support! Please tell us honestely what we can improve.
We appreciate every wish and suggestion and we really try to realise them! We hope to meet you at again at the
festival 2007 in Hamburg! Best wishes! Imad Production
