Come and Celebrate the Spirit of the Dance!!!
Join us at the 7th Annual Cleveland African Dance & Drum festival weekend
held at both the Phillis Wheatley Association and the Breen Center.

This year's event celebrates the life-long connections that are made to enhance the lives of family, self, and community interlacing a theatrical infusion of dance, poetry, drumming and song from June 19th to June 20th.

Saturday night features "Beautiful Waters" - a Juneteenth concert performance choreographed and produced by noted artist, choreographer and dancer Talise Campbell.  Cleveland's own Djapo Cultural Arts will join master teachers and area performers for a moving tribute in celebration of our continuing legacy, conceivable through our many connections made through our rising journey.

Tickets can be purchased ONLINE or from cast members $25 in advance        Don't delay: last year's show sold out quickly!!!!!
