Pat Hall From the folks at Cumbe:
Cumbe continues its 10 year anniversary celebration as it revives a founding tradition of a full moon party! Founding artistic director and world renowned choreographer, Pat Hall helped birth Cumbe, inweaving various African Diasporic customs and traditions into the fabric of the organization. Celebrating the full moon became a fun practice for the Cumbe community as it embraced the feminine energy and power of the moon while welcoming in a new season of love, development and opportunity.
The Pink Moon Party signifies a return to our founding traditions as we continue celebrating Cumbe’s 10th anniversary. As a BIPOC woman run organization, Cumbe is most excited to revive this tradition and celebrate the women holding these sacred, powerful spaces for the community to fellowship, learn about African Diaspora culture and dance together, especially now.
“Before Cumbe, I was teaching the Pat Hall Community Dance class and students often referred to it as home, church, Asham, temple and other places of spiritual gathering. It was clear that the community wanted and needed to be together beyond our moments in class. I, along with some of the early students from my class, decided that we needed to continue the 'gathering' and what better way to do it than on a full moon. The full moon is a powerful time for creativity and for energies to converge, thus the Full Moon Party was born,” says Cumbe’s Founding Artistic Director, Pat Hall. Coming on as artistic director, I wanted to establish a continuation of gathering and community. So the full moon was one of my contributions to Cumbe. At a time when people feel so disconnected and in need of socialization, it reminds us that what was started 10 years ago is needed now, more than ever!”
Cumbe is celebrating 10 years, together with our amazing teaching artists, bringing the transformative joy and power of African and Diaspora dance to over 20,000 students; of building a community of dancers and musicians who learn, move, connect, laugh and grow together; and of creating a home that fully and passionately explores the wisdom embodied in traditional and contemporary dances from Africa, the Caribbean and the Americas,” says Co-Founder and Executive Director, Jimena Martinez.
Join Cumbe and the community for an evening of honor and celebration.

A mini Afro-Cuban class with Danys ‘La Mora’ Perez
Live Music by Julio Jean & Company
Vibes by DJ Sabine Blaizin
Date: Saturday, April 16, 2022
