A whirl of skirts forms in flight. From Congo Square to the Gullah islands, all across the Caribbean, and on stages around the world, Black women have danced, filling the world with our creativity, beauty, and freedom. This pattern is dedicated to the spirit of dance that drives us, in any form or genre, to use our bodies to say everything that words can’t. Watercolor figures twirl and move hidden in a field of bright flowers. Inspired by everyone from Carmen de Lavallade and Debbie Allen to Janet Jackson and Beyonce, this pattern celebrates Black women as they continue to embody all that is beautiful in the dance.
