On Saturday, May 23rd, let’s go to the DanceAfrica event at BAM!🕺🏽🥁🍲 We’ll check out the bazaar and food trucks from noon to 2pm. Then we’ll check out the Ugandan and pan-African dance performance from 2 to 4pm. Tickets are $53+ They can be bought using the link below: https://commerce.bam.org/syos/performance/50785 Please get your ticket in advance as they may sell out. (Fouad’s seat is B7, but feel free to get your seat anywhere and we’ll connect before and after the show!) Link to DanceAfrica Bazaar 2026 https://www.bam.org/danceafrica-bazaar Link to DanceAfrica Dance performance page https://www.bam.org/danceafrica26 Google maps links (the bazaar and dance performance are within a block from each other, so they are very close to one another) DanceAfrica Bazaar and Food Trucks (Easiest would be to map to BAM Howard Gilman Opera House or BAM Rose Cinemas and walk 2 minutes to the Bazaar. See specific bazaar streets below, from BAM site) Ashland Pl (between Hanson Pl & Fulton St) Lafayette Ave (between Flatbush Ave & Fort Greene Pl) https://maps.app.goo.gl/asCqKTN8WGBW7MkK7 DanceAfrica Dance performance BAM Howard Gilman Opera House 30 Lafayette Ave, Brooklyn, NY 11217 https://maps.app.goo.gl/kZXYqB3BsV5ntrE16 Of course, please reach out if you have any questions! The not so fun rule on RSVPs Please only RSVP if you think you can make it and adjust your RSVP asap if anything changes (as there are other people who would like your spot). Two no shows or cancellations within 6 hours results in a 4 month ban. I will send a reminder 24 hours in advance to the group Thanks and can't wait to see you!
