DanceAfrica Community Celebration Day
Dancers from near and far come together to create DanceAfrica’s first ever Community Day Bantaba! This virtual dance performance—premiering May 30 at 6pm—features videos submitted by community members to showcase their dance moves and DanceAfrica spirit.


This virtual program of dance premieres draws inspiration from the lwa, spirits of Haitian Vodou, and brings together a community from near and far.


The best new narrative, documentary, and short films from across Africa and the diaspora, with a special focus on films from and about Haiti.

Haitian visual artists offer a meditation on liberation in this new public installation on the BAM sign, presented as part of DanceAfrica 2021.

Join veteran traditional Haitian dancer and teaching artist Nadia Dieudonné for this immersive workshop on the music and dance of Haiti—available in person and online—for intermediate and advanced dancers.

Caregivers and children of all ages deepen their engagement with DanceAfrica in this fun-filled, hands-on workshop exploring the fundamentals of Haitian movement and music, presented in Brooklyn Bridge Park.

Specifically designed for persons with disabilities, this inclusive, interactive class—available in person and online—explores how African and diasporic dance forms celebrate community.

Calling dancers of all ages and folks who love to move! Participate in this year’s virtual DanceAfrica Community Day Bantaba by submitting a video of you and your community dancing.
