About Assata

I first began teaching the Early Birds at the Debbie Allen Dance Academy when I was young but I fell in love with teaching the children the beautiful aspects of dance. At the Los Angeles County High School of the Arts, I assisted the Horton and Graham classes that were offered on weekends alongside Yuka Fukuda a former member of the Alvin Ailey Dance Company. At the Inglewood Community Center taught a class of 20 under privileged children from the ages of three to eight ballet and modern every Saturday during the summer. And finally, during the pandemic, several artists gathered to create a non-profit that offered art classes for children who didn't normally have access to attend prestigious art academies.
