Browsing through my facebook feeds and came across a video that my friend shared, to my surprise she was starring on the STEVE HARVEY show. Shout out to Rae-ann Cabralis. After watching her do her thang! (she got amazing skills by the way). I saw that she thanked "Delton Frank"
Cabrilis: "Special thanks to Delton Frank, who took d act from jus tricks n made into a beautiful number" .
As we all get sometimes 'curious' I thought who is this Delton Frank? I immediately clicked on his name, and DAM! there it was "FROM LAVENTILLE"
So I google Delton Frank and this is what I found.
Delton Frank is currently based in Toronto. He started dancing in 1988
with the North West Laventille Cultural Movement
Delton won best male dancer of Trinidad and Tobago in 1996, 1997 and 1999 – 2000, at the Prime Minister‟s Best Village Trophy Competition. He received an Award from the Laventille Steelband Committee for “Outstanding Contribution in the field of Culture.” He was the choreographer for the opening ceremony of Carifesta 2006, as well as for the national production.
He has toured Europe, North America and Canada extensively as well as the Caribbean. Delton was involved in the Cricket World Cup closing ceremony in Barbados with the Callaloo Company, and has choreographed for “The Road Make to Walk” – a musical tribute to the late Lord Kitchener.
He has also worked as Choreographer for the Dimanche Gras from 2007 – 2010.
“Delton is refreshing to the eyes, the most exciting dancer of his time, he made the show worth seeing.” Gabby Kamino of the Toronto Star News Papers.
Delton has been a founding member of Elle NYTT and continues to do choreography for the company. -"taken from Elle NYTT's website"
