As part of DanceAfrica 2017, BAM is partnering with StoryCorps to create a platform for you to share your experiences with the 40-year-old festival.

Please follow these simple instructions to share your story:

1. Download the free StoryCorps mobile app, available on iPhone, Android, and Kindle, and create a free account.

2. Record a conversation with a friend or fellow DanceAfrica fan. Follow the prompts in the app to begin recording, and let the conversation flow!

Here are some questions to get you started:

• When was the first time you participated in or attended DanceAfrica?
• What do you remember about the first time you attended or participated in DanceAfrica?
• Do you have any memories of Baba Chuck that you would like to share?

NOTE: while you can record up to 45 minutes, recordings can also be as short as a minute.
