The Academy offers African-centered, multidisciplinary programming to all who would like to join. Our offerings include Youth Theater Ensemble, Dance (African, Modern, Hip-Hop, Ballet, and more), Music (West African Drum, Trap Drums, and more), Visual Arts (Fashion, Jewelry, Painting/Sketching, and more), Photography, Martial Arts (Capoeira), Cultural Heritage (Africana Studies), Rights of Passage (Girls/Young Women, Boys/Young Men), Toddler Creative Expressions, and more.

Ifetayo Summer Camp is finally here!

This summer we are inviting children ages 6 – 13 to a 2 week exploration of African diasporic dance, music and martial arts with our seasoned staff. With a rich selection of classes including Capoeira, Afrobeat, Hip Hop, Samba, Jazz, Swing, Modern, and Ballet, there’s something for every budding artist to discover and enjoy!

This is a great opportunity for children who want to try something new before we begin our regular season in the fall, or for those who are new to the community and would like to get a feel for what learning with Ifetayo may be like for their child.
