Project Description

With support from the California Arts Council, the Museum of Dance (MOD) will launch ROOTS: The Legacy of Black Percussive Dance in America Education Program. This comprehensive program integrates professional development workshops for educators, community outreach campaigns, and a four-week schedule of school assemblies and public shows during Black History Month. ROOTS offers educational assemblies, fostering cultural enrichment and community connection. Additionally, virtual engagement ensures accessibility for expanded participation. The culminating event will be the exhibition and performances of ROOTS at Z Space in San Francisco in February 2025, allowing school program participants to enjoy the artists they worked with as they present the history, impact, and inspiration of Black Percussive Dance in America.

Organization Summary

Our core programs and services include:

Education Partnerships: Collaborating with local and national schools, we provide comprehensive dance education programs for students of all ages, including movement, technique, choreography, performance, and dance history. We also offer civic engagement projects and paid internships, fostering a deep connection between dance and community.

Artist Partnerships: Working closely with local and national dance artists, we offer support, resources, and space for their presentations, performances, lectures, and teaching work. By nurturing these partnerships, we contribute to the growth and visibility of dance artists.

Archive Partnerships: We collaborate with local and international dance archives, shining a spotlight on hidden dance archives and assisting in the interpretation and understanding of their significance. By showcasing these archives, we contribute to the broader appreciation and preservation of dance history.

Exhibition Planning and Preparation: Engaging with students, local artists, national and international historians, and archivists, we design and create dynamic “Pop-Up” exhibitions that explore the connections between dance and communities. These exhibitions foster a sense of community engagement and connection.

At the Museum of Dance, we are dedicated to creating an inclusive and enriching environment that celebrates the art of dance and its profound impact on our lives.
