LEGACY: Preserving Harlem Culture and Honoring Legendary Icons
Once upon a time in Harlem....
There was a little girl who would one day become a Queen and revered for her many talents and fortitude.
On Friday November 20th join us for the true story of a Jazz Age /Harlem Renaissance trailblazer — Entertainer Norma Miller. This engaging documentary highlights the life, career and indomitable spirit of the Harlem-born dancer, choreographer, comedienne, author of 5 books,songwriter and actress - also known as "The Queen of Swing."
This special event will include you hearing from those who knew this icon well - and you'll also hear from your Dance Cousins of Philly Bop and Hand Dance (and more) on how they preserve and protect their dance cultures in their areas.
And there will be some social dancing to top off the eve! ***
