well-rounded dancers, the school celebrates diversity
embracing all body types and abilities as it encourages its
students to train in a minimum of three (3) dance genres

techniques. In 1991, LDC became the first school in Port
of Spain to offer formal training in Hip Hop dancing.
Subsequently, in 2006, LDC’s founder complimented its
classical and urban dance instruction with training in the
indigenous dance forms of folk and limbo.

Part of the proceeds from PatchWork will benefit LDC’s
scholarship programme that offers dance tuition to youth
from marginalised communities. The production will
also raise funds to facilitate renovations, upgrades and
on-going maintenance to the LDC dance studio, which
is an affordable and easily accessible performance and
rehearsal space that is actively utilised by members of our
nation's performing arts communities. Tickets cost $130
and are available at the Queen’s Hall box office and from
the school. For more information, join the PatchWork
