Arts Underground - Dance Africa

This episode of Arts Underground, Kerri-Noelle Humphrey, founder of the community dance festival, Dance Africa, joins us in the WLRH studios. In this conversation, we discuss how the festival at the Academy for Academics & Arts uses music and dance to show students the influence West African culture has had on the current style of music and dance in America. This is a program made possible by the Alabama State Council on the Arts and the National Endowment for the Arts, and Kerri-Noelle also tells us her hopes for continuing this event into the future, and her hopes for the future of diversifying music education for students in schools across North Alabama.
