Cinderella, an enchanting new dance production, is being presented by Zoika’s Dance on Wednesday, June 8, 2022 at Lewis Auditorium.   Performance times are at 2:00pm and 7:00pm.

This fresh retelling of the classic fairytale is fun for the whole family.  It combines classical ballet with contemporary dance genres including tap, hip hop, contemporary, jazz, and ballroom dance.

Director and choreographer is Zoika Garcia, a former professional ballet dancer from Cuba.  Professional dancers will be joining the cast of young dancers.  Among them are Amaani Grant (hip hop, contemporary, tap), Katherine DeAcutis (hip hop), and Jenne Vermes (tap and contemporary).  Alex Rubio and Christie Woodson, members of professional tap ensemble Noise Complaint, will be performing as well.

Professional ballroom and musical theater dancer and actress Christina Cruz will portray the role of Cinderella’s stepmother.  Clay Mitchell, professional ballroom dancer, will be joining her onstage.  St. Augustine performers Tommy Bledsoe and Joy D’Elia will play the part of The King and Queen respectively.  And, local dancers Annabelle Hucke and Jake Karger will be performing as Cinderella and the Prince.

“We are thrilled to tell this beautiful fairytale through the language of dance,” Director Zoika Garcia explained. “And we are very excited to include so many vibrant, contemporary dance styles along with classical ballet! It is exciting for both the audience and the dancers.”
