Join us for an unforgettable night celebrating NCCAkron's 10th Anniversary on June 20, 2026, with Dance Party Through the Decades featuring music through the decades, electrifying dance floor vibes, and the magic of moving together in community!
This event features dance music from the past 50 years spun by all-vinyl DJ Forrest Getemgump, Country/Hip Hop line dancing instruction led by Ronni of Vibe & Sweat, emcee Will Blake, an open bar, light bites, a disco ball photo booth, and plenty of time on the dance floor.
OUR IMPACT
NCCAkron aims to foster geographic equity and to fulfill our potential as a national center. We commit to supporting a stronger, more visibly connected network focused on research and development across the dance ecosystem.
