LEGACY: Preserving Harlem Culture and Honoring Legendary Icons

Once upon a time in Harlem....

There was a little girl who would one day become a Queen and revered for her many talents and fortitude.

On Friday November 20th join us for the true story of a Jazzy Big Band Age /Harlem Renaissance trailblazer — Entertainer Norma Miller. This engaging documentary highlights the life, career and indomitable spirit of the Harlem-born dancer, choreographer, comedienne, authoress (of 5 books), songwriter and actress - also known as "The Queen of Swing."

This special event includes hearing from those who knew this icon well - and you'll also hear from your Dance Cousins of Philly Bop and Hand Dance on how they preserve and protect their dance cultures. And there will be some social dancing to top off the eve!
