Our youngest dancers will learn the basics of rhythm,
coordination, self-expression, and discipline. By using a
holistic approach we introduce our children to music, and
traditions that are designed to nurture an appreciation for
dance class etiquette, the richness of Black culture, and
their value within the community.

At this level, students will build on
foundational dance skills with a stronger focus
on techniques and combinations. They will
explore the rudiments of various dance forms,
incorporating music, and history, to foster a
deeper understanding of how dance reflects and
connects within their communities.
Ages 8 - 11
Dancers will engage with more complex
choreography, while learning about the origins
and cultural contexts of different dance styles.
A holistic approach allows students to vlaue
dance as both an art form and an expression of
culture across their homes and communities. .
Ages 11- 14
Using a holistic lens participants will explore
various dance styles, enhancing their technical
skills and artistic expression. By studying the
cultural and historical contexts of each,
students learn to value the legacy, purpose, and
story to be preserved across each discipline.
Ages 12 - 18
More advanced students will focus on
strengthening their technique and developing
their personal style. This approach encourages
a deeper connection to their craft, classmates
and community. The goal is for each to see
themselves as agents of change, recognizing how
they can use their Art as a powerful medium of
cultural expression, mental transformation and
emotional healing.
