The Afro-Latin Lounge

Dear all, Find below the latest cultural news from the Afro-Latin, African and Latin diasporas. ADAD is pleased to announce that the organisation has been included in Arts Council England's national portfolio for 2012-2015. We are grateful that at this difficult time for publicly funded organisations the Arts Council has chosen to continue to recognise and support the contribution of dance of the African Diaspora to the British cultural offer. ADAD has great ambitions for developing dance of the African Diaspora in the UK. Over the next few years, ADAD will continue to deliver a range of national initiatives including the Bloom Festival, the Re:Generations International conference and the Trailblazers professional development programme.
