Dance
Afrobeats Dance Boston was founded in May 2017 by Chidinma “Chi-Chi” Osuagwu, a passionate Boston native hailing originally from Hyde Park, MA. With invaluable support from several local organizations, including Haley House, Spontaneous Celebrations, and the City School, Osuagwu successfully launched a kickoff weekend in June 2017 and subsequently hosted classes across Roxbury, Dorchester, Mattapan, Hyde Park, and other vibrant communities. ABDB has risen to prominence through multiple avenues including live classes, workshops, performances, and events. The company has now shared its unique Afrobeats style with the Boston Celtics, and recently become grant recipients recognized by Boston’s city council. She is a co-owner and served as the Executive Director from 2017-2020, recently returning to the role in 2024. Chidinma also co-directs Afrobeats Dance Philly (est. 2020), a sister company dedicated to providing the same mission of accessibility and affordability for both children and adults in the Philadelphia region.
