Founded in 2007, MAWU is an all-female crew and dance company born out of New York's underground house scene, whose mission is to embody strong, positive images of women in the urban dance community, and to create fierce and creative works that will both educate and inspire new audiences. As part of the CUNY Dance Initiative, MAWU will premiere a new work, Journey into House, dedicated to Marjory Smarth, the late, legendary New York house dancer and mentor on her 47th birthday.

Join us for an after-concert party with DJ Sabine Blaizin, in the Longwood Art Gallery following the performance
