Early Era Collective’s annual Black History Month showcase gets an energetic refresh this year with live hip-hop and spoken word bolstering the nonprofit dance company’s usual celebration of street and contemporary movements. Exploring hip-hop, house, West African, and tap dance, co-producers Daniel Broxton and Stephanie Patrick spotlight Black expression with reverence, knowledge, and the all-are-welcome mentality that makes Early Era an integral part of the Austin creative community. Stay ’til the end for the org’s beloved community freestyle. – Carys Anderson
