Amadi “Baye” Washington and Sam “Asa” Pratt — known as the duo Baye & Asa — presented two performances at the Schwarzman Dome with a follow-up question and answer session.
New York City-born and raised, the professional dancer and choreographer duo have known each other since they were six years old. Their journey with dance began when they were around 10 years old when their school provided students with the unique opportunity to take dance classes as an alternative to traditional physical education. These classes, along with the guidance of their teacher, Jamal Jackson, inspired a love of dance that has lasted the tests of time. Their passion has now reached Yale audiences, including their two performances and one workshop this past weekend.
