About this event

Dance Afrikana's biennial festival: seven immersive workshops (9am-3:55pm) in Senegalese Sabar, Guinean, Afro-Venezuelan, Brazilian Samba, Haitian Folkloric, and Afro-Cuban traditions, followed by a Black Dance on Screen film block (5:30-8pm) with filmmaker conversations.

Why we picked it

One of only a handful of biennial Black diasporic dance festivals in the country, and the workshops are taught by out-of-town choreographers whose traditions aren't otherwise offered in Houston.

Good for

Dancers, choreographers, students of African/diasporic movement

Need to know

Bring dance clothes and water; a $5-$16 box office fee applies per ticket tier
