DANCE OF THE AFRICAN DIASPORA (DAD)

HOTFOOT Online Spring and Autumn

The Spring edition simultaneously celebrated 20 years of publication and the anniversary of George Floyd's death which sparked important conversations around diversity and equality. The theme 'Paving the Way - Rebuilding and Reimagining', featured dance of the African Diaspora leaders, emerging voices and how those working in dance of the African Diaspora are responding, moving forward with renewed determination, and remaining responsive to change and new influences.

Black History Month Competition

As part of our wider campaign for Black History Month we wanted to celebrate some of the incredible work happening in DAD across the UK. We awarded three cash prizes of £250 to members of the DAD community who are working towards brighter futures in dance.

I Move Campaign

I Move continued spotlighting multiple members of the DAD community. We ringfenced features for current active members, including our Black History Month competition winners in 2021, all of whom are active members of One Dance UK and have all made important contributions to dance in the wider community.
