Celebrate Black History Month & see what the students learned during the 10-Day West African Drum & Dance Workshop, taught by ReBirth Arts Collective!

The courses were taught by Tenisi and Baba Jide Davis, who have been drumming, dancing, and studying with world-renowned master performers since the ages of 5 & 7 years old. The Davis brothers have since shared the stage with the Ballet Merveilles de Guinee, the Cleo Parker Robinson Dance Company, The Sankofa Kuumba Dance ensemble, and many more. Now their goal is to spread culture, history, self-love, and fun through the arts and traditions of Africa.

Tenisi's additional educational work at The Klein includes starring in the play Frederick Douglass: An American Slave and instructing the Klein Theatre Arts video production course. He has been recognized by the Greater Bridgeport NAACP and won the Berry M. Gordy Artistic Award.

Suggested donation: $5

Proceeds benefit future programming and education at The Klein.
