It’s about culture.
We combine nutrition, dance, music, art, history, African and American traditions and experiences to promote behavioral change.

It’s about community.
In a typical class you will see people of all ages, sizes, and colors sharing, learning, and encouraging each other.

It’s comprehensive.
It cultivates the mind, body, and soul while stimulating all five senses: sight, smell, taste, touch and hearing. Dances are visually pleasing, the smell of the food tickles the nose and taste buds, the throb of the beat pulls you to your feet to be part of the dance, the group… the experience!
