A Brooklyn dance center reopened on Saturday in a new home after being displaced for years.
The Cumbe Center for African and Diaspora Dance opened in Downtown Brooklyn in 2012, but was forced out two years later too make room for development.
Cumbe has found a new home at the cultural center Restoration Art, after hosting classes around the borough.
Many students have been following Cumbe around the borough since the original studio closed and were there on Satuday for opening day.
Cumbe offers about 15 classes a week, but instructors say once the New Year comes, they will offer up to 20 classes.
