She also was commit ted to making dance education more accessible to minorities. The Chuck Davis African American Dance Ensemble, founded in 1983, specializes in music and dances originating from West African culture. Davis, artistic director of the Ensemble, has a strong commitment to pre serving the dance and music of xhe Black African tradition. He travels ?to Africa annually in order to renew the ensemble s repertoire. Prior4o the African-American Dance Ensemble, in 1968, Davis founded the Chuck Davis Dance Company in New York City. They gradually became one of ihe nation's premiere Afro-American dance companies. The troupe vis ited Durham in 1980 to establish their headquarters and merged with other danccrs to bccomc the African-American Dance Compa ny in 1983. The Ensemble is dedicated to positive social change and ihcy arc widely known for their picccs such as "War of ihc Guardians," "Saturday Night. Sunday Morn ing" and "Drought," a piccc dedi cated to the people of Ethiopia who are* suffering from natural and political calamity. The concert will also include dance works by UNCG faculty artists.
