Dance Concert Tix On Sale Now!
a little background info...
This "festival of dance," as it has been called, is a full-fledged concert designed to bring a heightened awareness to the mission of the non-profit organization: to improve the health and education status of children of African descent, throughout the Diaspora. The concert will feature internationally acclaimed ensembles such as Asase Yaa African-American Dance Theatre, Omi Yesa, The Gloria Eve Performing Arts Foundation, Purelements, and The Seewe African Dance Company. First Child Society (FCS) will also honor community leaders John Watusi Branch (Executive Director, Afrikan Poetry Theatre, Inc.) and Andrew P. Jackson (Executive Director, The Langston Hughes Community Library and Cultural Center, Queens Public Library).
Held at York College for the past four years, the event will take place there again. The address is 94-20 Guy R. Brewer Boulevard, between Archer and Liberty Avenues (in the Jamaica neighborhood of Queens, NY).
When asked about the significance of this milestone year, Nana K. Owusu Aboagye, I Sankofahene, founder of FCS, stated, We are very pleased and excited about this years show. I'm sure the performances will be electric! Every year there are challenges in bringing this level of high quality performances to the community. However, it has always been more than worth our efforts and this year will be no different. Our five years have been amazing and we are looking forward to many more.
