Sarasota Contemporary Dance Celebrates 10 Years

Coconut Telegraph

 Sarasota Contemporary Dance celebrated 10 years of superlative dance last weekend, with a four day run of "Retrospect" at the Jane B. Cook Theatre. The 10th annual main stage performance celebrated a decade of Artistic Director, Leymis Bolaños Wilmott's work. Current Company members were joined on stage by former company dancers, who reprised memorable roles they debuted earlier on in the company's history.  SCD also celebrated 10 years of community partnership with SRQ Magazine and incorporated the publication into their performance. "Jest Girls was a piece that we presented at SRQ Hot List event 10 years ago and reflects on the directors youthful days of listening to Salsa music with her friends. The main prop used is  SRQ Magazine and the movement features isolation hip movements with dancers faces covered. It opened our 10th season production kicking off our show with a whimsical piece of pure joy. We appreciate that we are still partnering with SRQ Magazine after 10 seasons. They have been with us along for the journey!" said Artistic Director, Leymis Bolaños Wilmott. Be sure to join Sarasota Contemporary Dance as they close out their historic 10th season with four performances, June 2-5 at the Jane B. Cook Theatre.
