All events are FREE & FACEBOOK LIVE on Grown Women Dance Collective’s Facebook page.

JUNETEENTH DANCE CONCERT + Q&A with DANCERS

We’re celebrating our community’s strength, resilience, self-empowerment, and joy, and we want you there! All stars of the dance world come together to celebrate dance, music & American history.

Former soloists with Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater, Dance Theatre of Harlem, Martha Graham Company, Bill T. Jones/Arnie Zane Company, Cleo Parker Robinson Dance Ensemble, Complexions, Dayton Contemporary, Lula Washington, Ballet Hispanico, & over 40 Broadway shows, perform beautifully crafted pieces to honor the legacy of Bill Withers, James Brown, Bobby Womack, Nina Simone & Maya Angelou.

Using dance and music to teach and celebrate African American history, the power of dancers in their 40’s & 50’s uplift, inspire, and create a beautiful healing space for us to see ourselves and see each other.
