🌟 Community Spotlight: DANCE IQUAIL! 🌟
Our friends at DANCE IQUAIL! (DI!) use the power of dance to confront social injustice and uplift Black communities in Philadelphia—transforming lives through performance and education. As a 2024 Bartol Organization Grant recipient, DI! is not only creating art but building community.
Founded by Dr. Iquail Shaheed, who also serves on the Bartol Board, DI! ensures underserved communities are active stakeholders in their work—not just spectators.
🎉 Join them for their annual event: Celebrate Mantua! What started in 2020 as the “Art Thrives from Black Lives” protest rally following George Floyd’s murder has evolved into an uplifting annual festival—featuring music, dance, drumlines, resource fairs, and family-friendly activities—all with a mission to spotlight creative resilience, equity, and community pride in Mantua. It's going to be a powerful day of dance, culture, and community! Bring the whole family and celebrate with DI!
🗓️ Saturday, July 12 | 11am–4pm
đź“Ť Miles Mack Playground (732 N. 36th St)
