Dancing at Dusk: Caribbean soul with La Troupe Zetwal
Come to Caramoor for an evening of fun with the kids! Bring a picnic, spread out a blanket, and enjoy great music together. Activities designed for toddlers to pre-teens.
Zetwal is a multicultural dance group that performs traditional Haitian folklore dances with live drumming, Zouk (a French Caribbean social dance) and Soukous (an Angola-based rhythm). On the Island of Hispaniola, old traditions, songs and dances (mostly of Congo and Dahomey origin) evolved and mixed with elements of Arawak (indigenous Haitian Indian) and French culture to form a new, uniquely Haitian dance expression. Zetwal will bring their exuberant joy for dance and music, celebrating the beauty of this culture in a way you may have never seen before.
Caramoor’s Dancing at Dusk series offers an opportunity for children to dance to live music, interact with the musicians, get to know their instruments, and ask questions.
