PERFORMANCES & WORKSHOPS
2024 FEATURED PERFORMERS
National Double Dutch League
Come join Harlem’s very own team--learn to jump like a pro and watch a “state of the art performance.
The probable origins of Double Dutch date back to ancient Phoencian, Chinese and Egyptian ropemakers and the game was brought by the Dutch settlers to New Amsterdam (NYC) where the English named it Double Dutch. The game has since evolved over the years and become a favorite pasttime to sing rhymes while turning and jumping.
Kotchegna Dance Company ~
Kotchegna is a corps of dancers and drummers who bring the thrill of joyful drumming and the vibrant color of traditional village dances from over 60 different tribal disciplines. Dances celebrate important moments in the villagers’ lives, from births to deaths, rites of passage, festival days and important visitations.
The company takes the audience through several high-energy dances that display various functions such as celebration dances, initiation dances, marriage and fertility dances, harvest, and New Year’s Day dances. In between dances, there is teaching of a call and response song, as well as some sharing about the djembe and bass doundoun drums. More dancing follows, finishing off with audience participation onstage, teaching participants a few steps to dance with the drums in an exciting final demonstration.
