ABDM is a Pathway to a World of Culture through:

Arts Education Programs and Performances

 

Art of Black Dance and Music is committed to fostering understanding between cultures. Art of Black Dance and Music has served various communities throughout Greater Boston and New England for more than twenty years.


Since its inception in 1975, A.B.D.M.'s dynamic group of professional Educators has delivered a rich repertoire of African-rooted culture to groups of all ages, races, and ethnic backgrounds. The rich and diverse heritage of the African Diaspora is reflected in the lifestyles of people of the Caribbean, the Americas and some thirteen other geographic locations around the world.

Thus, through the study of African-rooted dance, music and folklore, we are able to experience and share cultural similarities that are extensions of all communities.


Our Mission

 

ABDM's mission is to bridge cultural gaps by teaching the common history of humankind through African-rooted dance, music and folklore, and to entertain audiences of all ages with culturally diverse expressions of African-American heritage.
