The Afro Continuum

TRAX — LISA LA TOUCHE Originally from Calgary, Alberta, Canada, Lisa’s credit highlights includes original cast member of SHUFFLE ALONG on Broadway choreographed by Savion Glover and directed by George C. Wolfe.

Our friend Lisa Anne La Touche is offering the opportunity to rent her film TRAX , which documents some of the journey that she shared with us in her Dance & Dialogue, online through 9/30. Don't miss this chance to hear a largely untold story from one of our tradition-bearers.
"A Tap Dancer returns from Harlem to her home province of Alberta, Canada and discovers unknown Tap Dance ancestors which sends her on a journey exploring the borderless Black History unimaginable right underneath her feet."
