Trombonist/arranger Jamie Dubberly, who performs with his eight-piece Orquesta Dharma on the Latin jazz stage at 3 p.m., exemplifies the power of combining distinct traditions to create something savory and new. Last year he released “La Clave Del Gumbo,” a project that combines Afro-Cuban dance music with New Orleans brass band cadences. The Modesto musician had an epiphany in 2011 performing with Orquesta Dharma at Cal State Stanislaus, where he’s on the faculty. A student brass combo from a course he was teaching played an opening set, and for the concert’s grand finale, they joined his band on a piece he designed to move from a New Orleans beat to a cha cha.

Only Waz has a secret that he’s attempting to keep from everyone. He doesn’t want folks to learn that he’s a bit different than others on the TV show. “He ends up hiding his difference, which is portrayed in the show by his blue feather hair,” Spierkel explains. But others soon learn the truth. “At the beginning of the show, you are on the set of this TV show and during the shooting of that show, his blue feather hair is revealed to the entire nation,” Spierkel says. “And he’s very, very shy about it.”.

As I take a seat, the dancers are busy stretching their limbs before quickly finding places at the barres. Using words and her expressive hands, Cuba’s Loipa Araújo, who’s been recruited as a guest rehearsal assistant, begins to demonstrate the combination of steps she wants. Within minutes, it’s apparent that every movement sequence is designed to help the dancers master Alonso’s “Giselle” choreography — which demands lightning-speed footwork, soaring jumps and pristine pirouettes, all requiring steely strength masked by ethereal grace.
