Join us for Dancing Journey of Africans in America!
About this Event

Come experience the profound influence of African dance, music, and rhythm on American culture in honor of Black History Month. Let's learn together and gain deeper appreciation in an entertaining and highly interactive program for all ages.

The Celebrate! series, appropriate for family audiences and children ages 5 and up, highlights America’s rich cultural diversity through the arts. This program is tied directly to President and Mrs. Kennedy's concern for and support of the arts and culture in a democratic society. Thanks to generous support from the Martin Richard Foundation and the Mass Cultural Council all performances are free.
