Alabama and Georgia Sacred Harp Singers
Sacred Harp is a uniquely American tradition that brings communities together to sing four-part hymns and anthems. It is a proudly inclusive and democratic part of our shared cultural heritage. Sacred Harp "singings" are not performances - there are no rehearsals and no separate seats for an audience. The singers sit in a hollow square formation with one voice part on each side, all facing inwards so we can see and hear each other. All are welcome!

Lauren teaches creative movement community classes that focus on connection, moving from a place of listening and inspiration rather than performance.

Brandon Broussard is Louisiana-born and based, and has been immersed in the culture and partnered dance traditions of South Louisiana since birth. For more than 20 years, he has shared dance through lessons, workshops, and conversations that explore the nuances of connection — how steps, weight shifts, and body movement interact with musical resonance, personal interpretation, and shared energy. Through Louisiana Dance Roots, Brandon preserves and teaches regional dance traditions while helping people experience the cultural context, rhythm, and social connection that shape them. His approach emphasizes listening, responsiveness, and the lived feeling of moving together rather than memorizing patterns.
Regardless of your dance background — from none to experience in a variety of styles — you’ll be able to dance to South Louisiana Zydeco music in minutes. Come one, come all! Let’s share dance together and build a thoughtful community through connection rooted in South Louisiana culture.
