Presented in partnership with the Institute of Jazz Studies at Rutgers University-Newark.

Join cultural anthropologist and curator Dr. Derrick León Washington for an evening that moves through history, rhythm, and community.

Dr. Washington—curator of Urban Stomp: Dreams &amp; Defiance on the Dance Floor, currently on view at the Museum of the City of New York—brings to life the story of social dance: from ragtime and the Charleston to Lindy Hop, Mambo, and beyond. Through vivid storytelling, photographs, rare video excerpts, and the music that shaped each era, participants will experience how these dances carried both joy and defiance.

After the talk and Q&amp;A, stay for free food and a social dance session—a chance to learn dance steps, connect with neighbors, and dance together.

Made possible by funds from the New Jersey State Council on the Arts, a partner agency of the National Endowment for the Arts.
