chashama, in association with Greater Jamaica Development Corp (GJDC), is proud to present Dance Jamaica!, unexpected dance performances outside the Jamaica Performing Arts Center (JPAC).
Four dance companies that operate in the Queens area have been selected to create outdoor performances for the lawn in front of the Jamaica Performing Arts Center in its inaugural season. JPAC is located on one of Jamaica’s busiest thoroughfares, and these public performances will delight the public as they go about their Saturday activities.
On October 11th , Duhon Dance, brings history to life and mirrors the energy and atmosphere of present-day Jamaica, Queens. "Jamaica: From the Days of King to Today's Queens" tips its hat to U.S. Founding Father and early American Abolitionist Rufus King, whose house is across the street from what is now JPAC. Through spoken word, live music, and a range of dance styles.
