Our programs include free Family Shows, Family Dance Classes, and Cajon Circles throughout the Bay Area in libraries and community spaces. These family programs are attended by a multi-generational and diverse audience from various cultural backgrounds and serve as an introduction to Afro-Peruvian history, culture, instruments, and dances.

We present Afro-Peruvian dance and music residencies in schools and after-school programs in low-income title-1 schools. Students are introduced to Afro-Peruvian culture through school assemblies and study guides that demonstrate various Afro-Peruvian rhythms, instruments, and dances.

We produce Afro-Peruvian dance documentaries such as “Herencia de un Pueblo”, “Barrer”, and “Son de los Diablos”, and publish articles that contribute to dance research such as “The Dance Spirituality of African Descendants in Peru”, and “Afro-Peruvian Resilience and Empowerment Through the Dance Son de los Diablos”.

Our offerings also include: Afro-Peruvian music and dance workshops for adults; our free “Afro-Peruvian Roots” series — workshops, performances, and community gatherings that highlight Afro-Peruvian dances, instruments, and rituals as living legacies of resilience, resistance, and joy; “Afro-Peruvian Fest”, the only festival celebrating Afro-Peruvian culture in the Bay Area; and dance theater performances highlighting Afro-Peruvian rhythms, dances and rituals as a way to keep ancestral memory alive and serve as a vehicle for healing and transformation.
