Zydeco Zaré choreographer Elisa Monte is in town this week with a busy schedule leading up to her company’s world premier performance on Saturday night. Monte created the piece based on Creole traditions of music and dance. There’s lots of opportunities to meet the dance troupe, either through master classes at UL, or at Grant Street, tonight, where Geno Delafose will take the stage and everybody can be a star on the dance floor.
