What Makes WorldFeast Different?
Interaction! WorldFeast is designed so that attendees, both children and adults, experience different cultures through active participation in the event. Our "Streetsmosphere" allows community members to interact with the vendor, artists and volunteers; people who come to the event become participants.

This is a wonderful opportunity for you to become more visible in the international community of Charlotte.

World Beat
The North Carolina Dance Theatre will conclude its 2004-05 home season with World Beat, an internationally flavored show featuring choreography by Alonzo King and Nicolo Fonte. African-American choreographer Alonzo King works within the traditional ballet form but takes a personal, contemporary approach to the line of the body. King's world premiere will engage audiences by exploring diverse cultures through movements inspired by distant lands. Performances will feature a cast of children alongside the Dance Theatre's professional dancers, spirited along by live music from Spanish, South American, and Moroccan musicians.
