Join us for an immersive Black History Dance Workshop led by acclaimed choreographer and performer Chinyanta (@thechinyanta).
This dynamic session will take you on a journey across the African continent, exploring traditional dances from different regions and revealing how their movements and meanings connect to modern dance styles seen around the world today. There will also be live drumming at the workshop.
✨ Don’t miss this opportunity to learn, move, and connect through dance with this free student workshop sponsored by the SRC in collaboration with the African Caribbean Society.
