Cultural Resources
We encourage students to learn more about the countries, cultures, people, music, and history that have influenced our dance. This exploration is part of the education and appreciation of our dance inspiration and history.
It’s very important that we recognize and honor these cultures and do our best to co-work and uplift voices that have not been heard. We believe in diversity, equity, and inclusion and these are qualities that drew many of us to this style of dance, but it’s time to work harder and expand DEI to include the people from cultures that have been oppressed, colonized, and appropriated.
Just like us, this page is a work in progress. We’ll be adding educational resources as we continue to create cross-cultural connections with more educators.
Below are a few of our friends in dance, some of which are fcbdU instructors, along with their information to get you started.
While we continue to work on this page, please check out Aisha Ali’s Resource page!
