L'ACADCO — A United Caribbean Dance Force

Well supported

Contemporary dance company founded by L'Antoinette Stines, reborn in Jamaica in 1982 after a Miami start, drawing dancers from across the Caribbean and building repertory on Stines's L'Antech technique. It brought dancehall and Afro-Caribbean vocabulary to the proscenium stage.
