NBAF 2025 Black History Program
Legacy in Motion: Lines, Steps & Strolls
A celebration of Black communal dances
Saturday, February 22nd
10 AM - 5 PM
Pittsburgh Yards
Free & Open to the Public with RSVP
The National Black Arts Festival (NBAF) proudly presents Legacy In Motion: Lines, Steps, & Strolls, a Black family reunion-style celebration of Black communal dance!
This free Black History Month program, held on February 22, 2025, at Pittsburgh Yards in Atlanta, GA, invites participants of all ages to join in a day of movement, music, and fellowship as we ensure that Black dance recipes get passed down from one generation to the next!
Through a diverse lineup of interactive classes, performances, and social activities, Legacy In Motion celebrates the rich legacy of Black dance traditions—from the grace and elegance of Chicago Steppin’ to the latest youth-driven Tik Tok trends. These Black dance expressions, often overlooked and undervalued as art forms, are essential to strengthening bonds that span generations and nurturing the shared cultural heartbeat of the Black community.
