Afrobeats Dance Workshop (Two Nights!)
As part of our Black History Month celebration, we are delighted to host Afrobeats Dance Boston for two FREE workshops on Wednesdays, February 19 & 26, from 6 to 7:30 pm at the Museum. Water and a good time are provided!
Afrobeats Dance Boston is a dance company focusing on Contemporary African music (African Pop Music). Afrobeats is a catch-all term created by a DJ from the United Kingdom but reflects a current Pan-African spirit and movement towards Africa.
They were created from this very spirit, and their name represents the momentum and energy of the community.
Afrobeats is infused with both the music and dance of Ghana, Nigeria, Angola, Congo, Senegal, Black America, and so many other regions of the diaspora. Afrobeats Dance Boston holds regularly scheduled dance classes, hosts guest instructors from around the world, and hosts an Afrobeats party.
