  • Our Mission

      Black Dance Workshop's mission is to perpetuate the ethnicity of such dance styles and techniques as jazz, African, Spiritual, hip hop, modern, and ballet from an African American perspective. BDW's educational component consists of workshops, performances, and interacting with other dance companies and collegiate dance groups. Its performing component consists of performing for other campus and community events as well as a full production at the conclusion of the semester.
