The IABD Conference is more than a performer page—it's a gateway to a rich legacy of dance created by people of African ancestry or origin. IABD (the Institute for African American Dance) preserves, promotes, and advocates for dance through education, touring, and professional development. The annual International Conference and Festival is IABD’s signature four-day event, rotating to partner cities with collaborators across the dance landscape.
