BLACK DANCE - USA
Share
BLACK DANCE - USA... is an annual festival in celebration of Afrikan Diaspora dance. The way we move tells our story!
BLACK DANCE - USA is an expression of the Black Experience celebrated in movement. Black people across the Diaspora have created dances based on subtle movements that replicate our everyday lives. These dances have evolved with our way of living and existence over time. The movements of Black Dance express our work, our play, our family, our love, our tears, our laugh, our struggle, our celebrations, and our experience!
