Dance Department Spring Festival

About this event

Join us for three performances celebrating the extraordinary range of dance and music at Williams College. This spring, our ensembles come together to share contemporary dance, ballet, African movement traditions, and the vibrant sounds of Zimbabwe and the African Diaspora. Ensembles CoDa (Contemporary Dance Ensemble) brings bold, inventive works to the stage, pushing the boundaries of contemporary movement. Kusika celebrates African dance traditions, weaving together storytelling, community, and dynamic physicality. The Zambezi Marimba Band performs joyful, rhythmically rich music rooted in Zimbabwe and spanning the African Diaspora and world music traditions.
