Our audiences represent virtually every ethnic community in New York City as well as dance aficionados and scholars of Asian, African, Hispanic, European and Native American culture. From October to June, we brought Native American and World Dance Passport Arts in Education programs to NYC public schools for grades preK3 to 12th grade. These programs aligned with the social studies curriculum and linked to the Drums Along the Hudson Festival.
