Alima International Dance Association
President: Yasmine Lima

Description: Alima International Dance Association (AIDA) is an organization whose goal is to spread the diversity of dancing that derived from the African roots. Whether it is jazz, hip-hop, rumba, Latino music or even lyrical dancing, all of these few named arts forms of dance were somehow originated from the motherland. Alima wants people to become aware of the diversity and the beauty of cultures fused together into one. Alima believes that different nationalities and backgrounds should come together through the arts of music dance, and expression. Although, we have different believes, different languages and certainly different dance rituals, we should not be looking at these differences. Alima International Dance Association focuses on what people really have in common: “Rhythm and the Power of Self Expression.
Confidence and teamwork are important to us as an organization and a family. We want to make sure that everyone, including our student body maintains a high level of confidence, and to encourage each other. We perform dances for a reason that is to show how we all are interrelated.
