Ka Nu Dance Theater hopes to be able to continue to share “our situation” or better yet “Ka Nu” through dance, theater and song. Ka Nu Dance Theatre began performing in October 2003. They made their debut at the “International Dance of Colors Festival”, that was held at the 14th Street Educational Alliance Theater. Since then, the company has performed at Hofstra University, Springfield High School, Brooklyn Museum , Morgan Park as part of the Long Island Dance Series, Henry Street Settlement Theater as a part of the Dance in America series, and most recently at the Brooklyn Library’s 2008 Haitian Flag Day Celebration.
