Streets, Dance Halls and Living Rooms:
Social Dance in Form, Function, and Practice
10:30 a.m. to 12:00 p.m.
As physical distancing is one of the imposing paradigms of our pandemic experience, and dancing in indoor studios is not a given we are reminded that many dance forms birthed in communities of color have been solving issues of interaction in what we are now considering as alternative space. In this session we focus on social dances, the roles they have played in other key moments in history and the lessons to be learnt from these practices today. We will also discuss the barriers these forms and their practitioners have faced to be included in the ‘dance world’ (the recognition, resources and comradery that it often offers) and how race and ethnicity affects this experience.
Featured Speakers:
- Rodney Lopez, Principal, Rodney Eric Lopez Enterprises (moderator)
- Joti Singh, Artistic Director, Duniya Dance and Drum Company

What do these concepts and many more mean individually and how do they relate to our work in the dance field? This session will take a deeper look, giving us an entry point to action in conversation with artists.

In a dance world where studio training and professionalism are largely undergirded by eurocentric ideals and aesthetics despite genre, these invisible practices are part of a fabric that creates the conditions for ongoing violence against Black people.

"And I Finally See..."
Celebrates women and how powerful we are. Society expects us to conform and women need to continue to support and encourage each other to push the boundaries. With the help of women this world is a better place and our presence continues to bring awareness to various issues. My work speaks directly to women to express how talented, beautiful, and powerful they are; no matter what insecurities society or we put on ourselves.. Women bring life into this world and we should be treated like the queens that we are.
Performer and Choreographer: Maiya Redding, MFA Student Hunter College Dance Department
"On/Along"
Is a piece about perseverance. During the pandemic, we have dealt with a lot of uncertainty. As a college student entering her senior year and unsure of the future for the arts, it has been difficult to remain creative and inspired. However, by continuing to practice perseverance and exploring different dance elements and using improvisation, these explorations have significantly helped Esther’s choreographic process with investigating movement qualities in space to help construct a series of sequences. The piece resonated in Carolyn Adams’ response to the question, "What does it take to be a dancer?". Adams responded with, "Purpose, passion, perseverance. We meet challenges and obstacles with stamina, ideas, and solutions. This is simply who we are, in service to the art we love.
