Dance de COCO Dance Off
Local competitive dancing has a new space in Trinidad and Tobago at the COCO Dance Festival 2017 with the launch of the "Dance De COCO" Dance Off. This year, the Contemporary Choreographers' Collective (COCO) put out an open call to all local dancers on its social media channels welcoming all local dancers to compete for prizes. This new competitive element to the 9th annual COCO Dance Festival required competitors to prepare a 3-minute (or less) piece, in any dance style, from soloists or groups of 5 members or less.
