Dance Africa 2015

The nation’s largest festival dedicated to African dance returns for its 38th year, bringing together performance, art, film, and an array of community events, including the DanceAfrica Bazaar (more than 200 vendors from around the world, of food, crafts, fashion and more) for an exhilarating celebration of culture from Africa and its diaspora.

This year’s edition celebrates Brazil, tracing the transatlantic roots of the country’s vibrant music and dance traditions. Headlined by Afro-Brazilian dance troupe Balé Folclórico da Bahia, 2015 marks the last year that Baba Chuck Davis will lead the festival as Artistic Director.
