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.
