FunπDANCE with Celestina & INDIA
A unique Black History Month program blending traditional and contemporary dance with spoken word and rap, created and led by Celestina, with her daughter, India, at her heart. Together, they create a joyful, expressive space where children are invited to move, create, and explore voice, imagination, and rhythm.
Fun DANCE fuses African and Caribbean dance influences with contemporary styles such as Afrobeats and hip-hop, alongside spoken word, rap, and playful creative movement. Sessions move between guided choreography and free-flow expression, allowing children to experience different ways of moving, listening, and responding through rhythm and music.
At its heart, Fun DANCE celebrates creativity, cultural expression, and the joy of movement. It offers children space to engage with rhythm, storytelling, and shared energy, supporting imagination, self-expression, and collective expression through dance.

"Celestina and India are wonderful! Polite, professional, enthusiastic, and a joy to be around. The children had a fantastic time working with them.
Throughout the week, the children became more immersed in the project, and their confidence grew, thanks to Celestina's great teaching and dedication.
I know Celestina and India spent a huge amount of time each day traveling to us via public transport, which must have been a huge effort with a young child and lots of equipment—thank you so much!
Parents were deeply moved during the performance on Friday; some were even in tears, proud to see their child join in something new in such a special way.
Celestina is organized, passionate about the arts, and clearly dedicated to her work. We would 100% welcome her back in the future.
Thank you for inviting us to be part of the Harlow Creates Be Wild. Be Happy. Move! project. The children gained so much from it, and the adults loved dancing along too!”
