Historically, during the first wave of globalization, then known as colonialism, efforts were made by colonizers to silence indigenous cultural expressions as a means of establishing power and control. In this current wave of globalization, which is marked by an aggressive technological revolution that has facilitated greater connectedness and spread of the more dominant North Atlantic aesthetic values and practices across the globe, Afro-Caribbean traditional cultural expressions face the potential risk of being obsolete and powerless in the dancing lives of young studio-based dancers in the Caribbean. This paper presents findings of a qualitative study into measures taken by Caribbean dance teachers (n = 6), from Jamaica, Grenada, and St. Vincent and the Grenadines, to promote Afro-Caribbean movement aesthetics and practices in their dance studios with young people. I will argue that such measures are important to the empowerment of the Afro-Caribbean dancing body and to safeguard against colonial structures in post-colonial Caribbean dance education.

Lubricants and leather dressings are the most common treatments of dry and water logged historical leathers. Color change has a great importance during the time and treatment process, due to visual and aesthetic values of historic leather relics. Polyethylene glycol (PEG) and silicone oil (SiO) are frequently used leather dressings in the conservation procedures. Therefore, color stability of treated leathers with PEG and SiO were investigated before and after heat accelerated aging. Moreover, application of ascorbic acid was evaluated as an antioxidant additive for PEG (PEG+AA).Color change after treatment and aging were studied by colorimetry technique in the CIE *L*a*b system. Results indicated to severe color alteration in PEG treated and aged leathers with or without ascorbic acid. Whereas, SiO treated samples showed better stability and minimum color shift after aging. Silicone oil was characterized as the best dressing for historical leathers with compared to PEG and PEG+AA, due to its high stability and aesthetical properties.
