About dance Immersion
dance Immersion is a charitable non-profit organization established by Vivine Scarlett in 1994 to produce, promote, and support dancers and dances of the African Diaspora. Their curatorial and programming practice is driven by the rhythm cultures that continue to be developed around the world by African and African Diasporic artists.
dance Immersion presents performance works and educational and mentorship programs that embody the fluidity of the past, present, and future, viewing a connection to cultural traditions as a grounding base from which contemporary expression can take root to fly.
Their work connecting people is founded in the intergenerational nature of learning, sharing, and community. They platform artists with a view of passing on wisdom through art, through the medium of dance.
