The Spirit of Kwanzaa
Washington Reflections Dance Company presents a performance of dance, poetry, video and music to celebrate Kwanzaa, the African culture holiday.
Professional dancers from Washington Dance Instiute, in a “shake-the-rafters” performance along side young dance students, West African dancer and drummers, and hip-hop dance and theater, bring the spirit of the Kwanzaa holiday alive.
The Kwanzaa holiday was first celebrated in 1966. And the name Kwanzaa is from the Swahilli phrase for “first fruits”. There are seven principles of Kwanzaa – unity, self-determination, collective work and responsibility, cooperative economics, purpose, creativity and faith.
