Dallas Black Dance Theatre will present the 17th Annual DanceAfrica, an event that features powerful movements and heart-searing drumming, allowing African culture to flow through the music and dance of DBDT and DBDT: Encore!, along with the Allegro Performing Ensemble, the Senior Performing Ensemble, and the Junior Performing Ensemble of Dallas Black Dance Academy.

Guest artist Giwayen Mata is an all-sistah, dance, percussion, and vocal ensemble presenting dynamic songs of the African Diaspora. The prestigious Booker T. Washington High School for the Performing and Visual Arts Dance Conservatory will present fierce movement in dedication to the female elders of the community.

The DeSoto A Cappella Choir and Varsity Women will perform a tapestry of inspiring songs that capture the spirit of African traditions.

Dallas Black Dance Theatre will celebrate 20 years of honoring the rich tapestry of African heritage in the heart of Dallas with DanceAfrica. The joyful spirit of traditional and contemporary African dance will come to life on stage to the pulse of live drums and performances by all five of their dance companies, along with special guests.

Guests are invited to stay after the show for the communal Bantaba, a vibrant dance experience that brings together cultures and generations where the dancers, the audience, and drummers come together and share in universal rhythm.
