About this Event
Ifetayo Cultural Arts Academy partners with Camille A. Brown Dance to bring a free Afro-Contemporary Dance class to our girl scholars age 7 and up!
Afro Contemporary is a dance style that combines traditional African dance with Western contemporary techniques found in modern dance. It bridges the gap between African dance, rooted in cultural rituals and meaning, and the dance techniques of Western culture. This dance style blends techniques from multiple genres, including classical ballet, jazz, modern dance, and lyrical dance.
Founded in 2014, Black Girl Spectrum (BGS) aims to nurture and bring awareness to Black girl brilliance. BGS explores the spectrum of identities among Black girls and women while working to create safe spaces for them to live as creative citizens. The initiative seeks to amplify the cultural and creative empowerment of Black girls and women through dance, dialogue, and popular education tools.
There is limited space available for this class offering. Scholars will be expected to honor community agreements around attendance, engagement during class and the culminating performance.
