The first leg of the journey will bring the five dancers from Puerto Rico to Montclair to attend classes with the faculty and dancers from MSU and live a typical week in the life of a college dance major. Additionally, the ten dancers will be paired up to create five original duets to perform for the Gala in Puerto Rico. The ten students will then travel to Puerto Rico to prepare for performing in the “Next Steps” Gala.

This collaboration, “Bailar al Sol” – dancing into the sun – will unite young dancers from New Jersey and Puerto Rico in a dance exchange program, culminating with a gala performance in February 2019. Andrea Kramer, Ballet Mistress and owner of Ballet Forte, and Waldo Gonzales, owner of Waldo Gonzales Performing Arts School, will be joining to create a cross-cultural experience for young dancers. By forming a partnership to build a strong foundation, Bailor al Sol will promote and encourage the Arts in Puerto Rico.
