Dive into the Vibrant World of the Black Atlantic
Discover the rich tapestry of African Diaspora artistry with our interactice dance events!
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. Our arts can be means for people of 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 embody the essence of joy, wellness, and cultural understanding.
Unleash Your Inner Mermaid
Make a splash in Saint Louis with our enchanting mermaid performances!
Our world of mermaid performances is where graceful aquatic movements intertwine with cultural symbolism. We are inspired by iconic children's characters like Ariel as well as African mythological mermaids like Yemaya and Oshun. Our mermaids exude tranquility, joy, and a profound sense of liberation. Experience the transformative power of water as we 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 creative and educational processes are centered on examining the role of music, lanugage, and sociocultural factors in shaping Afro-Diasporic dance. 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 cultural heritage and societal influences. This approach leaves our students and choreography clients well educated and able to engage with these dances that we love both comfortably and respectfully.
