The Negro Dance Group

The Negro Dance Group was a collective of pioneering African American dancers and choreographers who emerged in the early 20th century. They aimed to showcase African American cultural identity and challenge racial stereotypes through expressive dance performances. By blending traditional African movements with contemporary styles, the group promoted racial pride and artistic innovation. Their work contributed to the broader Harlem Renaissance movement, celebrating Black heritage and artistry, and helping to elevate African American contributions to American cultural history.
