Find Your Beat

Join us this Saturday, April 18th for an experience like no other.

Step into our masterclass and journey deeper into “Find Your Beat”—where movement meets memory, and rhythm carries stories across generations. This is more than a class; it’s an exploration of the rich history, cultural connections, and shared influences between Indo-Caribbean and Afro-Caribbean communities in Guyana.

Through dance, dialogue, and storytelling, we’ll uncover the roots, the resilience, and the beauty of these intertwined traditions.

Come ready to learn, move, and connect.

Date: Saturday, April 18th
Time: 1:30pm

Grateful doesn’t even begin to cover it. 💛

A heartfelt thank you to Taisha St. Jean T**d for helping to fund our very first Find Your Beat community workshops in District 2. Because of this support, we’ve been able to offer these experiences for FREE, creating space for movement, storytelling, and connection through culture and the arts.

Find Your Beat is about more than dance… it’s about finding your voice, your rhythm, and your place in community. And none of this would be possible without leaders who believe in the power of the arts.

Thank you for showing up, for supporting this vision, and for investing in our community. This is just the beginning.

Be sure to join us this Saturday 4/18 for another Find Your Beat masterclass at the Leroy Coles library.

Join us for a special Find Your Beat Masterclass with Director Gaitrie Devi and Co-Director Megan Rakeepile for an experience that goes beyond movement and into history, identity, and connection.

This session explores the story of Indo-Caribbean indentured laborers in Guyana and the complex relationships with Afro-Caribbean communities, offering insight into how history shapes who we are today.

Through storytelling, reflection, and a short performance excerpt, participants will engage with the roots of the work and be invited to connect it back to their own lived experiences.

This is not just a class, it’s a space to learn, reflect, and find your own rhythm. Free and open to the community, All are welcome.

Funding and support provided by Legislator Taisha St. Jean T**d for Erie County Legislator and the University District Community Development Association.

SAVE THE DATE ✨

Find Your Beat

📅 November 7, 2026
📍 Buffalo, NY (Theatre announcement coming soon!)

Find Your Beat was conceived during COVID, at a time when the search for identity was at its peak. What began as a deeply personal exploration has grown into a powerful evening of storytelling rooted in culture, ancestors, resilience, and truth.

After two incredible runs in 2023 and 2024 at Shea’s 710 Theatre, we are beyond excited to bring it back to another theatre here in Buffalo (details coming soon 👀).

This year, we are thrilled to be partnering with the incredible duo AnsariSaxon Productions to help bring this next chapter to life.

And if you’ve seen the show before, come ready.
We’ve created an entirely new second half — a true labor of love that has stretched, deepened, and transformed this work in ways we can’t wait to share.

If you haven’t experienced it yet, this is storytelling at its finest.
Movement. Music. Memory. Identity. Community.

Mark your calendars now.
November 7, 2026.

More soon… but for now, save the date and get ready to find your beat. 💛
