The Connecticut Dance Alliance presents
MARTIN LUTHER KING JR. DAY OF DANCE
MONDAY, JANUARY 16, 2023
CREC’s Greater Hartford Academy of the Arts Half Day Program,
15 Vernon Street, Hartford, CT
10am – 2:30pm.
The annual event honors the teachings and legacy of Dr. King as well
as the abundant African American contributions to the world of dance.
This year we celebrate the black dancers from communities around Connecticut with classes in Afro-Caribbean, stilt walking, popping,
Horton technique, modern and capoeira.
The event also focuses on elements of collaboration, history and educating participants on the experiences of people of color in the dance world.
The day will consist of two sets of master classes and a panel discussion with our guest artists about their experience in dance as artists of color.
We are thrilled to welcome the following artists …
Peter Reynolds (Studio 860)
Thulani Davis (Spectrum in Motion Dance Theater)
Christine Kershaw (Cooperative Arts & Humanities High School)
Stephen Hankey (Island Reflections Dance Theatre Company)
Lauren Horn (subira.vs.movemet)
