For "Juneteenth in Brower Park: Celebrating the Black Women's Movement," we are sponsoring Instructor Azriel Wallace to connect African dance and its influence in Brooklyn hip-hop!

Brooklyn born with island roots from St. Vincent & The Grenadines, Azriel Wallace fell in love with the arts, especially dance, at an early age. She studied under the late Eleo Pomare. She has worked with artists such as Shaggy, Bruck Up and Jencarlos Canela, and was a featured dancer/model for G-Shock and BET's Rip the Runway. She experienced the joy of performing with the Queen of Soca music, Alison Hinds, has opened for Machel Montano and choreographed/danced for Kerwin Du Bois. She's dedicated years to spreading Soca dance culture to the masses. She is the artistic director of the dance company The Bacchanalists.
