Cory “Nova” Villegas Homes in on Authenticity to Keep Jazz Dance Relevant

Cory “Nova” Villegas, Artistic Director of Soul Dance Co.: The Soul Experience, is no stranger to the Jazz Choreography Enterprises community. This native Bronxite has showcased her works in the JCE Jazz Dance Project several times and was also on a panel for the JCE talkback with Fatima Logan-Alston after the April 2023 performances.

All in all, Jazz is a category of dance with many different attributes, and the New York Jazz Choreography Project ... was successful in representing a wide range of what jazz dance has to offer. The show itself was full of life, and I was thoroughly impressed and entertained by the talent showcased.
