The Convening for Dance and Culture is a yearly two-day experience that interweaves interactive classes, workshops, and performances from expert instructors from the African Diaspora. 

This year, for 2025, Temate Institute presents Ritual: Rhythms of Life and Legacy, a transformative exploration of the deep, spiritual connection between humanity and the natural world. We are inspired by traditions, ancestral wisdom, and the natural world. It reflects the understanding that life is interconnected, balancing the physical, social, cultural, and spiritual. Just as traditions evolve, this experience brings ancient practices into the present, offering a dynamic and powerful expression of movement and meaning.
