Special Workshop

Daaimah Taalib-Din presents Daaimahizm Afro-Burlesque. Come, experience a sensual, playful, seductive style of African dance mixed with burlesque. This class is guaranteed to boost your confidence as you tap into your inner goddess. This movement is designed to be medicine for your soul. Open to all levels. Choreography will be set to recorded music & live drumming.

Daaimah’s personal and spiritual relationship to her artistry has made her a most sought out performer, teacher and choreographer in the United States and abroad. In 2017 her gifts have earned her the distinction of being the first person to win a Bessie Award (the highest dance award that a dancer can achieve in New York City for outstanding performer) for African based dance. Her music video credits include Black Coffee’s ‘’Come with me,’’ in which she was the lead choreographer, and Styles P’s “Never Fight an African,” in which she performed her own solo choreography. She also filmed for the Hollywood production Step it up 3D. Daaimah is probably best known for her work in live dance and musical theater, having performed at such internationally renewed venues as the New Jersey Performing Arts Center, the Apollo Theater, the Brooklyn Academy of Music, Harlem Stage/Aaron Davis Hall and Black Dance USA.
