FAMILY TALK and MATTERS (LIMITED SPACE)

The past, the present and the future of Harlem's Signature Cultural Dance - IN HARLEM - needs a forum to be discussed. Harlem's famed Dance Culture of the Lindy Hop is under attack... being re-written, erased, picked apart and monopolized by others as you read this.

Its a truly sad state of affairs when you Google Black Lindy Hoppers and White faces show up in your search...


HOWEVER: Is it always with unsavory intentions Black culture ends up elsewhere seemingly controlled by others? Do Black individuals in Harlem of the past and present hold some blame or accountability somewhere down the line? These topics, along with "Dancing while Black" and other matters will be addressed: Come to your own conclusion after this heartfelt and FREE community discussion.

The school director is opposite the dancer and wears a red DTH logo t-shirt and black pants and ballet slippers. She holds the hand of the arm raised above the dancer’s head with one arm and her back arm is extended and she is smiling at the student.
