Our friend Lisa Anne La Touche is offering the opportunity to rent her film TRAX , which documents some of the journey that she shared with us in her Dance & Dialogue, online through 9/30. Don't miss this chance to hear a largely untold story from one of our tradition-bearers.
"A Tap Dancer returns from Harlem to her home province of Alberta, Canada and discovers unknown Tap Dance ancestors which sends her on a journey exploring the borderless Black History unimaginable right underneath her feet."
