About OPUS Dance Theatre

OPUS Dance Theatre (ODT) is a not-for-profit organization dedicated to celebrating the richness and diversity of the Pan-African experience through dynamic performances and impactful educational programs.

For over 25 years, ODT has championed the belief that arts education is essential and should be a core part of every student’s learning journey. Through the development of inclusive, multicultural visual and performing arts curricula, ODT has worked to ensure that artistic expression remains a vital part of education.

Today, this commitment aligns with a broader national movement focused on quality and inclusion in education—where multicultural arts are not just complementary, but essential to a well-rounded classroom experience.

Music as a Revolution

A high quality music elective, aligned with the

NYS Standards of the Arts-Music, with an emphasis on the migration of the Djembe drums from Africa to the United States. Music has played a crucial role in the social and political development across many cultures. Whether it is the sounds of the Bamana people in West Africa, the Jazz of the United States, or the Boleras in Puerto Rico-you hear the sound of the drum-the heart of the orchestra. The goal of this program is for the student to appreciate music as a language and understand the power a musical instrument has to tell a story.
