Free FWAAMFest Friday Kickoff: Community Contra and Square Dance

Join us to kickoff the 6th Fort Worth African American Roots Music Festival with a festival eve dance for all ages! You may have learned to dance in squares, lines, and circles in grade school — this event will highlight how central African Americans have been in the history of these traditional dances.

The dances will be taught and called by participants of our pilot African American Dance Caller Pathways Program cohort and accompanied by a live string band led by fiddlers Isaiah Sibi and Shanice Richards.

Bring a partner, friend, child, or come solo—no experience needed!
