Class Description
Afro-Modern Dance Class Description
This class builds upon folk dances such as the Ring
Shout, Charleston, and Cakewalk. It explores elements
of African culture, retained in African American
vernacular traditions, that have contributed largely
to the dance forms of the African Diaspora. The
movement is inspired by the concept of “Sankofa” — the
belief that the past provides a guide to the present. 
Afro-Modern dance is an eclectic movement style that
incorporates both Contemporary and African techniques.
