so... the ghetto dancer vs. the educated dancer (podcast) #4
okay! So let's keep it real and talk about the ghetto dancer vs. the educated dancer. Today's dance newsletter is a follow-up from last week; (the streets vs. the stage).
Did you know, that we can ALL embrace dance in all its forms... free from discrimination? Who cares, if you found dance outside, on the streets, in an unconventional way?
Representation in dance is key. Why? Because diverse voices and experiences may be underrepresented and face greater barriers to entry; (Which has motivated me to start this newsletter and a podcast. To highlight those underrepresented voices, in dance).
So... listen up to this podcast, with Rubba. Dance practitioner of 45+ years. From Jamaica to Bristol, UK. He shares his vibrant journey in dance and shines a lot on (un)education in dance.
