About this Event

Capital City Go-Go Education Day is an opportunity for D.C. area students to learn and engage with the rich history and the various stylistic elements related to the go-go music genre.

Performed, exhibited, and demonstrated alongside one of the most popular sports today — basketball — students can explore the rich tradition and history of D.C.’s go-go music and connect their experience with classroom lessons in music, visual arts, and social studies at all levels of instruction (elementary, middle, and high school).

Come out to a Capital City Go-Go game and help Teach the Beat bring the distinctive D.C. sound of go-go music into the classroom. Each ticket package includes an exclusive Capital City Go-Go ‘Beat of DC’ T-shirt and a $10 donation back to Teach the Beat. 

This event is part of the D.C. area’s Black Lives Matter at School and Black History Month educational events for students.

Teach the Beat is an initiative to ensure that DC area students learn the rich history and the various stylistic elements related to the Go-Go music genre, drawing on the vast array of performers in D.C., scholars, and the experience of teachers who grew up with Go-Go. The goal is to catalyze the art and history of Go-Go as a pedagogical tool for all (upper elementary, middle and high school) music and social studies teachers.
