The Chiku Awali African Dance, Arts & Culture, Inc. of Rockland, was founded by Alexandreena Dixon in January, 2003 as a not-for-profit entity to enrich it's community, particularly it's youth.
Chiku Awali's mission is to promote, encourage and project civic and cultural programs and activities in Rockland County that are representative of African dance and culture. We also provide community outreach programs to local libraries, nursing homes, and rehabilitation facilities.
Chiku Awali provides ongoing African, modern and tap dance classes for children, teens and adults. We also provide African drums, percussion instruments and flute classes. Free classes are available based on income eligibility.
Additional programs include African mask-making, Rites of Passage for young men and a Healthy Snack Program in partnership with the Spring Valley Youth Bureau and sponsored by the Rockland County Department of Health Eat Well, Play Hard Program. Chiku Awali sponsors trips to African events in and around the tri-state area. We also sponsor tours to Africa.
