The Jamaica Center for Arts and Learning (JCAL) in partnership with Queensborough Community College Dance Program (QCC Dance), Rhythm N Dance, Ebony Oasis and the Kofago Dance Ensemble presents Kwanzaa Celebration 2021: The Legacy Continues, December 11th, 2021! The performance features choreography by performing artists who are all brought together to celebrate Kwanzaa through dance and culture.

“Kwanzaa Celebration 2021: The Legacy Continues,” will be our fourth annual event, which tells the unifying and creative interpretation of Kwanzaa - an African American and Pan-African holiday, celebrating family, community, and culture. Celebrated from December 26 through January 1, its origins are in the first harvest celebrations of Africa, from which it takes its name. The name Kwanzaa is derived from the phrase "matunda ya kwanza" which means "first fruits" in Swahili, a Pan-African language most widely spoken language of the African continent.
