When the Spirit Moves: African American Dance in History and Art on view April 24, 2010 through August 21, 2010 chronicles African American dance and how it has shaped mainstream American dance. The journey begins in the Africa, where centuries ago dance ceremonies were central to village life and ends discussing more contemporary forms of dance like popping and locking.
