Since then, she has trained with Cookie and her Black Mambas, a collective led by Lindy Hop icon Angela Andrew. When she&#8217;s not dancing, Korantema works as an anthropology curator and creates fanzines, generally exploring the cultural experiences of black women.<\/p>\n<h3>Stephen Atemie<\/h3>\n<p>Stephen is a promising young talent from the new generation of Lindy Hop dancers.
