This is AMAZING! I like the story because it teaches us stuff. I feel confident after dancing, like I can do anything. I feel like I'm part of Africa.”


Youth in our ACE with TACA Program

PROGRAMS

ACE (African Cultural Education) with TACA

Bring ACE with TACA to Your Event/Organization/School!

We have a program for everyone in our community - from youth to adults. Check them out below!

African Story Time

Perfect for Youth K-5/Families, we explore one country in Africa; learn fun facts about that country; some new vocabulary in one of the languages spoken in the country; a story with a moral lesson; and dance!

AfrICan Dance

Perfect for Middle Schoolers, we focus on one African country through Dance. While dancing, we learn about the country, focusing on age appropriate details and having fun, while boosting the kids' mood and fitness level.

African HEAT

The HEAT stands for Healthy, Energetic, Authentic Transformation. Perfect for High School and above, but can be catered to the whole family, focused more on fitness and movement, in general. We dance the entire time, getting the heart rate up and improving our Cardiovascular Fitness levels. In the middle of the action, we learn a fun Dance routine with steps from various countries and learn a little about each of the countries in the process. A fun, sweaty, educational time for all!
