In honor of Black History Month, we welcomed back In honor of Black History Month, we welcomed back @accentdancenyc to our Upper School this week. Students journeyed through the history of West African dance—highlighting styles like the Soli and Lamba—to the 1972 Bronx-born roots of global breakdancing.
