DanceAfrica Miami

African dance, drumming, song and cultural traditions are the focus of a three-day annual gathering in Miami Gardens. DanceAfrica Miami 2026 takes place Friday, July 31 through Sunday, August 2 at Florida Memorial University.

Presented by Delou Africa, Inc., the event celebrates African and African Diaspora culture through workshops, performances and community programming. Attendees can take part in dance, drum and song workshops led by master artists, with sessions designed for dancers, drummers and participants interested in cultural learning.

The weekend also includes a vendor marketplace and Children’s Village, creating a family-friendly setting for exploring music, movement, history and heritage. DanceAfrica Miami’s 2026 theme, “Rooted in Culture, Rising in Spirit,” reflects the event’s focus on preserving traditions while bringing the community together through shared cultural expression.
