The Black Beanz Dance Crew

The Black Beanz teen male dance troupe is working hard to become premier ambassadors for immigrant youth. Their music is all about world peace and love and is presented in a "cool" way to integrate hip hop/R&B into traditional African tribal music. Their positive message is all about being a positive force against the trend of U.S. youth delinquency and anti-social behaviors with what they are doing!

The Black Beanz Dance Crew makes appearances in the city of Akron and in many parts of Ohio, NE US, and hopes to go national and international soon. The Black Beanz Dance Crew is supported by the Akron Community Foundation, Ohio Arts Council, OhioDance, Leadership Akron, and SARE. Learn more about the Black Beanz Dance Crew here!
