FREE Folger programming all summer long!
Every other Saturday is all about family fun at the Folger. Folger Family Takeovers this summer will include hands-on activities, dance, poetry, and lots of energy.
In this hip-hop theater arts experience, Paige Hernandez presents excerpts from her original work based on her experience as a performer with African American and Latina roots. Her program motivates us to be creative and unique, using our heritage and family values as inspiration. Learn the basics of hip hop, salsa, and partner dance with adults and children together!
After the program, stay and enjoy our exhibition halls. Timed entry passes are recommended.
