The program is designed to empower the community with the music, dance moves, and storytelling while exploring Black history through a deeply rooted African lens.

Get ready to get moving and increase your cultural awareness of African music and dance origins and its many contributions to the world of the Arts throughout time.

Mama Azia has been teaching, performing, and choreographing dances in numerous venues both in the United States and abroad. She has taught African dance in places as varied as Belize, the Bahamas, Zimbabwe, and New Zealand.

Mama Azia’s ultimate goal is to reach the hearts of all people – young and old – by working together to create and practice love, peace, and harmony through dance and music.
