I went to see the LaRocque Bey performance yesterday afternoon at the Apollo Theater. Never in my life have I seen such wonderful dancing and drumming. I'm into drumming and dancing and I've never heard of LaRocque Bey. I'm 27 years old and I felt like a kid going home and talikng to my mom about him and she knew it all. I have a strong interest in joining the LaRocque Bey family. If someone can email me with information, that would be greatly appreciated.
Thank You!
It was a pleasure visiting your website. I grew up in Harlem in the 60's and the name LaRocque Bay is familiar to me and my family. My older sister was a member of Minisink. She and and several of her friends were visitors and students of the school. My mother wanted me to be part of the creative community in Harlem but as a boy, I was far too shy What missed opportunities we all mourn however it's a delight to know you are still continuing the legacy of LaRocque Bay.
Jerome, I am commending you for carrying on the legacy of what LaRocque started. You are the definate choice, as was chosen by LaRocque, to continue the development of hearts and minds of the youth in Harlem. One of my fondest memories of LaRocque was he never wavered from his commitment to the youth of Harlem even when faced with the preasure of financial gain if he would only move his school out of Harlem to downtown Manhattan where other cultural groups would take advantage of his teachings. Continue with the legacy of LaRocque and know that your name is also shinning bright amoung the stars of heaven. Peace and Love.
