Schedule:

Tuesday, June 6 

10-11:30am: Movement, Memory, Migration: A Cultural Dance Experience – Led by Stacey Allen

Rising Stars Academy

Gathering cultural knowledge from a multitude of experiences such as technique classes rooted in Afro-Modern dance, praise dance traditions across the Diaspora, and somatic practices, Movement, Memory, Migration will pull from our archival memories in our bodies and create new memories. This class will flow seamlessly from breathing techniques to jubilant ring shout choreography. Keeping the traditions of Alvin Ailey’s mantra that dance should be delivered back to the people, this class is open to ALL.
