Black Dance Festival at Dance Exchange.

Founded by Rachael Alexandra, The Platform Black Dance Festival was founded in 2023 as an Independent Study Project which focused on challenging racial bias and unequal standards for Black choreographers in the dance world. The festival aims to provide a supportive platform for Black dance artists to create and exhibit their work.
