Heritage Works was founded in December of 2000 as African Dance Works. From the start we worked to preserve and showcase the African heritage, and illuminate relationships between American and African traditions. Our original focus was primarily dance and related art forms. We've since expanded our focus, and taken the name Heritage Works. With our new name comes a wider scope of cultural programming, which includes the traditions and the arts of Africa and the Diaspora. Heritage Works promotes youth, family, and comprehensive community development through cultural arts, traditions, and education. Our programs encourage personal and artistic excellence by promoting cultural understanding, skill and character development, physical fitness, and cultural fluency.
