About the Event
The Bay Area Youth Pan-African Dance Conference is a one-day dance, music, and community experience designed to move your body, uplift your spirit, and connect young people through culture, creativity, and joy.
We’re thrilled to invite youth ages 8–18 to an exciting day of dance for all skill levels. Our goal is to teach history through movement while helping preserve rich cultural traditions for future generations.
As the final day of Bay Area Dance Week, this special event is a joyful way to close out the celebration and we’re proud to share that it is brought to you in partnership with the African Queens Dance Company.
