CELEBRATE Dancing While Black’s 5th Anniversary! May 3 - 5 @ BAAD!

In 2012, Paloma McGregor launched Dancing While Black, an artist-led initiative that supports the diverse work of Black dance artists by cultivating platforms for process, performance, dialogue and documentation. DWB brings the voices of black dance artists from the periphery to the center, providing opportunities to self-determine the languages and lenses that define their work.
 
Programs include a Long Table, film screening, performances by Bronx youth, special guest artists, current DWB Fellows - Alethea Pace, J. Bouey, Jasmine Hearn, Kayla Hamilton, NIC Kay, Shelby Felton- AND a dance party!
THURSDAY MAY 3rd is a celebration of the future of Dancing While Black with Bronx youth and families, centering the neighborhood which has been an important home to DWB the past five years. Performance, 7pm
