Accent Dance NYC brought a free multicultural community performance and interactive workshop to the Boys & Girls Club of Mount Vernon. The event combined professional performances of West African dance and drumming, hip hop dance, and a newly commissioned work by emerging African American choreographer Will A. Ervin, Jr. The performance was followed by an accessible dance workshop, led by Accent Dance’s team of multicultural artists, drawing upon the dance styles, histories, and cultures of the performed works and providing a joyful, educational, and community-building experience for all.
Accent Dance NYC is proud to be a grantee of ArtsWestchester with funding made possible by Westchester County government with the support of County Executive George Latimer.
