Amplifying Black Voices from Social Dance: Brazilian Zouk, Bachata, Kizomba, Salsa

This video is a compilation of 2 social dancers and one ballet organization on the issue of racism. Below are resources for understanding, education, support, and more. We benefit from and enjoy dance and music steeped in African tradition, culture, and history. This is a moment to amplify the black voices of the social dance community who have been silent for so long.

Trigger Warning: this video does contain scenes from protests (violence is cut out) and strong emotions.

Special thank you to my African American friends/students/colleagues who helped me come up with this concept and helped me collect resources. You all are the best ❤
