In persistently promoting Afro-Cuban dance, IFE-ILE has established
not only a cultural experience to local and visitors; but also a tradition
that slowly has produced eager followers even from abroad.
Miami has the highest number of Cubans (including Afro-Cubans)
in the U.S., and here Cuban and other African, Caribbean and Latin
American cultures thrive and pulse in the neighborhoods. Here, culture
is alive, living and present -- and not confined to a dance workshop.
Renowned
Afro-Cuban choreographer and dancer Neri
Torres founded the IFE-ILE Afro-Cuban Festival in 1998 and from
2002 through 2005 called it BAILA USA.
She began the festival to reflect the multiple ethnicities of South
Florida, and include other dance traditions that share African roots.
Says Torres, "Our festival gives people of all backgrounds
-- whether they're dancers or not -- the opportunity to enjoy, learn
and engage in a celebration of the folk traditions of the African
Diaspora in Latin America and the U.S.
Previous guest artists include La Familia Cepeda from Puerto Rico,
the African American Ensemble and the late Dr. Katherine Dunham,
as well as renowned scholars and instructors.
