Brooklyn dance studio, Fit4Dance, will be hosting the “Dance Is Love” fundraiser in support of Angel Kaba, whose apartment recently burned down, leaving her and her daughter displaced in a New York City shelter in a different borough.<\/p>\n

When Angel Kaba fled domestic violence with her seven-year-old daughter in April 2021 and found residence in\u00a0Bushwick\u00a0with help from the City, she thought she was\u00a0starting anew;\u00a0cultivating a safe and happier\u00a0life away from abuse.<\/p>\n

Just three years later, Kaba and her daughter now live in a shelter in the Bronx, after she was forced to vacate her residence\u00a0at 441 Wilson Ave., following\u00a0three electrical fires<\/a>\u00a0in the building in the span of a month.\u00a0As a result, Kaba now spends six hours commuting between the Bronx shelter, her daughter\u2019s school in Brownsville,\u00a0and her work\u00a0in Manhattan, where she is\u00a0a dance instructor.<\/p>\n

Kaba is a renowned dancer and Afro’Dance teacher. In 2013, Angel founded AfroDance New York (ADNY) as a platform that celebrates diversity, communities, and global culture. She is also a PassionPreneur, empowering artists to fulfill their calling while building a solid business.<\/p>\n

The event, hosted by Laci Chisholm, the owner of Fit4Dance, is a testament to community solidarity in times of need. “It is vital that we, as a community of citizens, come together to support the continuation of her work, livelihood, and security, said Chisholm in a press release.<\/p>\n

Chisholm herself had experienced a similar fire incident in the past, determined to help, the\u00a0“Dance Is Love”\u00a0fundraiser will\u00a0support Kaba\u00a0in securing a new place to live.<\/p>\n

The “Dance Is Love” fundraiser\u00a0will take place on Sunday, April 21, from 5:30 p.m.\u00a0to 8:00 p.m.\u00a0at Fit4Dance located at 21 Snyder Ave, Brooklyn, NY 11226. All proceeds from the event will go directly towards securing housing for Kaba\u00a0and her daughter.<\/p>\n
