DanceAfrica is Brooklyn Academy of Music’s signature celebration of dance, music, and community from across Africa and the diaspora. Each spring, the festival gathers master companies, rising choreographers, and tradition bearers for high-energy performances that fuse contemporary movement with time-honored forms, from West African polyrhythms to South African gumboot and Caribbean folkloric styles. Beyond the stage, DanceAfrica invites fans into a living classroom with drum circles, workshops, film screenings, and conversations that honor lineage while spotlighting new voices.
