Katherine+Dunham

 by Daria, Grade 5

= = =Katherine Dunham was a dancer, choreographer and anthropologist. Her talent went across the world. She was known as the “Pioneer of Black Dance”. When Katherine was in college she won a scholarship to study anthropology in Haiti. She also studied Haitian dances. Katherine loved how Haitians danced so when she came back home she took some Haitian dancers with her and they performed in her hometown. Still some of Katherine Dunham’s dances are performed today. =
