TESTIMONIALS

  • All of the teaching artists were prepared, presented well and are truly professionals at what they were instructing. It’s clear they bring a lot of sincere passion and deep caring about youth into the activities.

    - Angel F., Program Director, Westhab Inc NY

  • I think the Hip Hop exploration was really powerful. To see kids dancing in something totally new for their bodies and to their minds. Working with a professional dancer and seeing her move was really inspiring.

    Dalida, Dance/Movement Specialist

  • It was an impactful experience for our students to learn with Guinean drummers Kosi and Kwesi. As culture bearers they gave our students the opportunity to participate in authentic call and response African drumming.
