Cabd seeks to foster interaction and dialogue among diverse communities in our home community of new york city, across the country and globally. Cabd reclaims black narratives with its historically informed and thought- provoking repertory on race, culture, and identity, blending modern, hip hop, african, tap, and social dances to forge riveting, visceral works that ripple with energy and urgency. The company is celebrated nationally for its fearless moves, powerful theatricality, and virtuosic musicality. Community engagement and education activities are essential to the organization's mission and, at home and on tour, cabd offers masterclasses for pre-professional dancers and the general public, post-performance dialogues with audiences, convenings, lectures, and participates in residencies. Through the organization's education platform, every body move, cabd provides free social dance movement workshops to nurture and activate the creative potential of those with little access to the arts, while fostering confidence, promoting wellness, and building skills to help direct personal growth, in nyc neighborhoods and beyond. Extending our commitment to advancing the next generation of emerging artists of color, cabd's free, virtual mentorship program annually pairs 16 next-generation black artists with one of cabd's accomplished former or current company members who provide one-on-one mentoring, guiding participants as they navigate their own creative and professional paths.”
