All-stars of the dance world come together to celebrate dance, music & American history. Former soloists with Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater, Dance Theatre of Harlem, Martha Graham Company, Bill T. Jones/Arnie Zane Company, Cleo Parker Robinson Dance Ensemble, Complexions, Dayton Contemporary, Dallas Black Dance Theatre, Ballet Hispanico, & over 40 Broadway shows, perform beautifully crafted pieces to honor the legacy of James Brown, DMX, Bobby Womack, Nina Simone & Maya Angelou. Using dance and music to teach and celebrate African American history, the power of dancers in their 40’s & 50’s uplift, inspire, and create a beautiful healing space for us to see ourselves and see each other.

Please come celebrate our ancestors’ strength on whose shoulders we stand, as we continue the revolution for our next generations. All are welcome to share this joy!
