Gaylyn Lareese's video: BEING AN ANTIRACIST DANCER: 5 Easy Ways You Can Combat Racism in Your Dance Communities

What is up artists and movers! We will be back to our normal dance content next weekend but this weekend I felt it was very important to have a conversation with you all in my dance family. Dance spaces are not immune to racism. Racism is an institution designed to be pervasive in every part in our lives. This is why it is important for us to be dedicated to eliminating it and unlearning the implicit biases that come along with it. We must be antiracist if we wish to have dance spaces, living spaces, and workplaces that are free of racism in this country. The Black Lives Matter Movement's list of 5 demands inspired me to create this list of 5 tangible ways that all of us can combat racism in our dance classes, our dance rehearsals, and in our dance productions. I hope this list inspires you to improve your dance community and hold each other accountable when the work gets tough. Love you guys and I will see you in my next video next weekend.

My name is Gaylyn Lareese, and I am dancer living in Los Angeles. For as long as I can remember, dance has been a part of my life and has truly shaped my personality, my opinions and my life goals. I believe dancers are more than pretty performers on a stage or in a video. True dancers know that dance is how we learn and move through life. It’s the way we’ve chosen to grow to be the people we are meant to be. This is why I call us artists and movers! On my channel I make content for every aspect of dance life including dance tips, dance discussions, and dance entrepreneurship. Join me as I take my love for dance to the next level and hopefully encourage you to do the same 💙 Sub Count: 674 Some links included are Amazon Affiliate links and as an Amazon Associate, I earn a small percentage from qualifying purchases.
