Season 1 Episode 2: Breaking a Genre - Part 2
Dance artist and educator, David Gabriel joins us for a 2-part episode special. In part 2, we dive deep into a heavier conversation that is rooted in a single question that I ask: “It’s an interesting time for dance instructors, especially dance instructors of color. With the magnification of the BLM Movement this past year, what have you experienced in the last 6 months?”
This 30 minute part 2 episode is a meaningful conversation exposing how African or African American art forms are valued in the United States and how David chooses to navigate through that. His life experiences have empowered him to “have the mentality of knowing” when it comes to his stance on the pertinence of his chosen art form, Afro-Latin dance. This episode is filled with powerful words from David that inspires each listener to be their authentic self when creating art.
David’s perspective is unique and worth digesting.
Cheers!
