"Dance is a Science"

Dance is a Science. It has measurements, hypotheses, facts and figures. It seeks answers to age old questions. To excel in it, as in any science, one must have focus, skills, research and perseverance. To understand dance, one must have strong foundations in rhythms, gestures, balance and language. Define new dimensions. Research the oldest architecture of human form... Dance.

Black History Month was established in 1926. Although there is an international aspect to Black History month, it is mainly an American holiday. In 1926, Dr. Carter Godwin Woodson and other African American and white scholars, launched "Negro History Week" so that Americans could reflect on the history and contributions of African Americans. In the 1970s, the celebration of African American history was expanded to include the entire month of February.
