Celebrating 40 Years of Urban Bush Women: A Legacy of Dance, Activism, and Inclusivity

by Adrienne Bauldock

Urban Bush Women's legacy is one of resilience, activism, and artistic excellence. As the company continues to pave the way for inclusivity and social change within the dance community, it invites dancers, artists, and activists to join in its mission of empowerment and transformation.

Urban Bush Women

Founded in 1984 by choreographer Jawole Willa Jo Zollar, Urban Bush Women (UBW) seeks to bring the untold and under-told histories and stories of disenfranchised people to light through dance. We do this from a woman-centered perspective and as members of the African Diaspora community in order to create a more equitable balance of power in the dance world and beyond.
