"Cinderella" presented by Zoika's Dance | JUNE 8

Presented by Zoika's Dance at Flagler College - Lewis Auditorium

Director and choreographer, Zoika Garcia, has called upon the talents of professional dancers to join the cast of young dancers. Among the professionals joining the cast are Amaani Grant (hip hop, contemporary, tap), Katherine DeAcutis (hip hop), Jenne Vermes (tap and contemporary), Alex Rubio, and Christie Woodson, members of the professional tap ensemble, Noise Complaint.

The role of Cinderella’s stepmother will be portrayed by professional ballroom and musical theater dancer and actor, Christina Cruz. Ms. Cruz will be joined onstage by professional ballroom dancer, Clay Mitchell. The King and Queen will be portrayed by St. Augustine performers Tommy Bledsoe and Joy D’Elia. Cinderella and the Prince will be portrayed by local dancers Annabelle Hucke and Jake Karger.

“We are thrilled to tell this beautiful fairytale through the language of dance,” Director Zoika Garcia explained. “And we are very excited to include so many vibrant, contemporary dance styles along with classical ballet! It is exciting for both the audience and the dancers.”

Garcia, a former professional ballet dancer from Cuba, is also motivated to share the magic of Cinderella with members of the community who might not otherwise have the chance to attend. She has partnered with local nonprofit, Fostering Connections, to provide a block of tickets for local foster children and their foster parents to attend the shows. Local financial sponsors of the production are making this possible.

Performances will be held at 2 PM and 7 PM on Wednesday, June 8, 2022, at Lewis Auditorium, Flagler College, 14 Granada St., St. Augustine, Florida. Tickets are $20 - $30 and may be purchased online at the link here.
