Dive into the Black Atlantic

African, Afro Caribbean, Afro Latin, and African American peoples, in our 500 years on this side of the Atlantic Ocean, have created some absolutely breathtaking arts practices. Black dance can be means for people from all walks of life to better know themselves, their bodies, their past, and the current world around them. Our mission is to embody the resilience and joy of the African Diaspora and share that beauty with audiences of all backgrounds.

Find Your Inner Mermaid

Make a splash in Saint Louis with our mermaid performances!

Our mermaid performances are where graceful aquatic movement intersects with cultural symbolism. We are inspired by iconic children's characters like Ariel as well as African mythological mermaids like Yemaya and Oshun. Our goal is to celebrate freedom and magic through both land and in-water mermaid shows!

We've had students and former company members use what they learned with us in business, social relationships, as well as in their arts careers!
