Native South African Lesole Maine and his dance troupe return to the Anne Arundel County Public Library for the first time since 2008 to help celebrate Black History Month.
Appearing at seven County libraries during the month of February, the show offers a fun, fast-paced and fascinating look at traditional and modern African dance styles.
The show encompasses three dance experiences: traditional Zulu/tribal dance, Gumboot (which originated in the gold mines of South Africa) and modern social/hip-hop dance known as Pantsula
By recognizing that even within the African continent, Western, Eastern, Northern and Southern traditions vary, Maine also honors the diversity of our community and strives to forge a deeper understanding and acceptance among people of different backgrounds and cultural traditions.
Seating is limited and available on a first-come, first-served basis. The programs are free and appropriate for all ages.
All shows begin at 7 p.m.
