ACHE (ah-shé) is a word of African origin that speaks to life force, power, and sacred energy. It’s also used in the Dominican Republic (pronounced ach-eh) as an affirming term when someone is doing something cool, surprising or powerful. This weekend honors diasporic dances of African, Dominican, and Haitian lineages while creating space for connection, community, and collective joy. This weekender is carefully curated and intentionally capped at 50 participants to create an intimate, supportive space. 🎟️ Pricing Tiers for the Weekender 🎟️ Limited to 50 full weekend passes.
