Celebrate African History and Culture


African Dance Classes

Brother Jerome Hunter will be leading free african dance classes for any students, parents, teachers, and members of the Pride Academy community.

Classes will begin on Wednesdays from 5pm to 6pm, starting on Wednesday, March 3rd.

We invite everyone to come out and learn about the richness and beauty of African culture!!!

African Dance Performance

In Honor of Black History Month, Pride Academy will be hosting a special performance of African dance by The Seventh Principle in Bantaba.

Through their fusion of dance, story and drama, the artist-educators of Seventh Principle teach about both African dance and culture and the history and origins of African-based culture in America. The high-energy of the dancers is contagious and encourages students to pay close attention to what is happening on stage.

Throughout the program, the members of Seventh Principle explain why the people of Africa dance, why they use costumes, and why music is so important to what they do.

We will have two performances, and parents are welcome to attend either performance. The performances will be held on:

Monday, February 28th. 

5th and 6th Grade Performance - 1:40pm
7th and 8th Grade Performance - 2:40pm
