This symposium of classes and conversation with professional teaching artists - produced and born in The Bronx, the electric borough of the boogie-down - continues to be an historic event.
Initiated and organized by Megan Curet, this project is inspired by Pepatián’s collective project, Dancing la Botanica, a platform for Latino/a/x choreographers, dance makers and movement artists.

Bronx Grows Dance, 2nd annual project is supported by public funds from the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs in partnership with the City Council, support from the Bronx Council on the Arts through the New York State Council on the Arts Decentralization Program, and individual contributions to Pepatián: Bronx Arts ColLABorative.
Thank you to BAAD! for our ongoing partnership in support of this project.
Bronx Grows Dance, 2nd annual is a live, interactive dance event produced by Pepatián: Bronx Arts ColLABorative in collaboration with BAAD! Bronx Academy of Arts and Dance that centers the question: How could our youth re-imagine the future of dance if given space and time to gather and ignite?
The sole purpose of this event is to gather youth from the Bronx and surrounding uptown communities to engage with the potentiality of dance in their lives.
As a space to gather, learn, exchange and present, this event offers youth in dance a way to collectively begin shaking up the future directions of thinking of and knowing dance. Often, this kind of meeting exists primarily in spaces and settings that are out of reach from those communities that would benefit the most from them.
