Dance Expressions Celebrates Black History Month!

This year Dance Expressions’ company dancers celebrated Black History Month with various creative and informative projects centering on the intersection of dance and Black history and experiences. These projects were organized by Alyssa Alston, one of our teen company members, who provided many artistic avenues for exploring these subjects. We received an excellent response from the dancers, resulting in several innovative and impressive projects. At DE, we are proud to support a well-rounded and diverse dance education that encourages our students to appreciate and reflect on the impact of Black and African-American culture in dance. 

Here are all of the outstanding projects created by our students:
