Eight Count
Give students the opportunity to express themselves through art, while bonding and reflecting with their peers who share similar forms of expression. The form of dance we intend to produce targets the roots of African and Black American culture. Not only will we produce this art, but we will also aim to educate our student body on both the history and impact of each style we produce.
