In honour of Black History Month, Confederation Centre of the Arts will host Bahamian-owned dance companies Oshuns Dance and Xclusiv Crew for three days of workshops in February. Elan Mackey, Reequal Smith, Joe Dames, and Dawn Ward-Dames have been cementing themselves as key figures in the PEI dance community for the past decade and sharing and celebrating their culture through dance education. They are dedicated to diversifying the styles practiced and taught here on the Island by making sure the connection between Black history and dance is not only understood but valued.

Dancers of all ages and skill levels are invited to come and explore the worlds of Calypso Fusion, West African Dance, Caribbean Jazz Funk and Hip Hop.
