Heritage Works was founded in December of 2000 as African Dance Works. From the start they worked to preserve and showcase the African heritage, and illuminate relationships between American and African traditions. Their original focus was primarily dance and related art forms. They've since expanded their focus, and taken the name Heritage Works. With their new name comes a wider scope of cultural programming, which includes the traditions and the arts of Africa and the Diaspora.
Heritage Works promotes youth, family, and comprehensive community development through cultural arts, traditions, and education. Their programs encourage personal and artistic excellence by promoting cultural understanding, skill and character development, physical fitness, and cultural fluency. They are looking for dancers and young artists who are ready to spend an extended period of time broadening their dance vocabulary, gaining performance experience, and/or honing their technique.
Who Can Audition:
Young artists ages 13 -16 can audition for the following:
The Heritage Works Junior Intensive
The Deeply Rooted Dance Theaters Youth Intensive
Youth and Young adult artists ages 17-24 can audition for the following:
Heritage Works Summer Ensemble Intensive
The Deeply Rooted Dance Theater's Pre-Professional Intensive
The Heritage Works and Deeply Rooted's Two City Intensive
The intensives are a basic introduction to dance and music through age appropriate instruction and have proven to spark interest in continued dance and music studies, as well as build brain power. This program has proven to build coordination, develop spatial awareness, improve self esteem and confidence and encourage physical fitness.
