Share

We continue our spotlight on the 2025 Caribbean Media Exchange (CMEx)laureates, who were celebrated in Miami last month.

The event was an exceptional experience, shining a well-deserved light on the crème de la crème of Caribbean excellence.

Today, we present remarks from Carole Alexis of Martinique, an internationally acclaimed choreographer, director, pedagogue and Knight of the Order of Arts and Letters (France).

At just 13 years old in her native Martinique, Alexis was commissioned to choreograph for the Festival de Fort-de-France, working with a company of professional dancers. In 2011, she founded Ballet des Amériques, a professional dance company and ballet conservatory whose work is regularly presented across the greater New York City area, as well as on national and international stages.
