About this Event
This Black History Month, we’re coming together to move, sweat, and celebrate Black Joy through the rhythms of the African diaspora.
This pop-up is Alicia the Dance Dragon Slayer's signature Caribbean Vibes meets Afro Pop dance party--this time with three teachers, three flavas, one shared root:
🌴 Soca with Sharifa from Grenada (Rifa’s Rhythms)
🔥 Afrobeats with Mbere from Nigeria (Mbere Moves)
🌊 Bouyon with me—straight from my ancestral home, Dominica
Expect jumping and waving, big energy, deep grooves, and a room full of joy. No pressure. No perfection. Just movement, culture, and community.
