The History:
Versatile, a popular dance troupe born from the ashes of a barely known dance troupe ‘The Unique Stars’.
Versatile kicked it off in April 2003 at the popular Milagres Fete and though it was their first time together on stage, they created such an impact that left the audience breathless. One clear statement made that day was Versatile is here to stay and so…they did.
The Package:
‘Versatile’ – the name in itself describes the attributes of its performers. Versatile at dancing is one characteristic every modern dance troupe wants to be tagged along with but very few achieve that glory. The dance troupe ‘Versatile’ is one of the few. The definition of Versatility for this dance troupe is in regards to the various specialties in dancing. They are in position to offer ‘Versatile’ is specialized in:
1. As our highest priority we have a sequence dedicated to Michael Jackson. The numbers that we perform to this legendary artist are; “Dangerous” (with an action based act) and “Thriller” (with a spooky theme to it).
2. Hip – hop is a genre tat we have specialized in and being the only troupe in
3. Salsa is a dance which involves the blend of passion and soul. We have understood that criteria and have mastered this art. As an added attraction we have made our salsa sequence unique by giving it a pinch of Hip-hop. We can practically dance to any of the salsa tracks in general, but have exclusive tracks to the Salsa – Hip Hop fusion.
4. Ballroom Dancing: The true ballroom quality dancing is specialized by very few. Versatile took this style as a challenge and now can outperform most of the performers in this particular dancing style.
