Each session focuses on a different aspect of African diaspora traditions, blending historical and cultural insights with movement and music practices.

Guided by experienced artists and facilitators, the program fosters a sense of community, cultural pride, and personal connection through the arts.
Sessions include a welcome, community check-in, short warm-up, movement practice, choreography, and reflective discussions. Embodying Legacy is designed to honor and preserve the stories of resilience, identity, and heritage that have shaped these artistic expressions.

Whether you're an experienced dancer or new to movement, Embodying Legacy offers a space to explore and honor cultural heritage through the universal language of dance and music.
