THANK YOU
to everyone involved in making IMMERSION: Rhythms of the Diaspora such a success!
Our incredible community of teaching artists, performers, donors, volunteers, attendees, and studio assistants came together with passion and purpose to support our teaching artists, students, and fundraising efforts. Together, we can continue Cumbe's mission to make African and Diaspora dance and music accessible to all!
Dance for Joy! is supported, in part, by public funds from the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs in partnership with the City Council and Council Member Chi Ossé, the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of the Office of the Governor, the New York State Legislature and Assembly Member Stefani Zinerman, and the National Endowment for the Arts. The program also receives support from the Robert and Mercedes Eichholz Foundation and Fidelity Charitable Trust.
