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 shows, dance lessons, and choreographic works seek to embody Black joy and cultural expression.

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 diversity and freedom through both land and in-water mermaid shows!

Learn and Perform  

Take your wedding choreography, musical act, or personal dance practice to the next level with private dance lessons!

Our private lessons in Afro Brazilian dance, Rio style samba, On1 and On2 salsa, bachata, and modern dance not only teach technique and "moves" but also foster a deeper understanding of dance history. This approach leaves our students able to engage with dance both comfortably and respectfully. 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!
