Da Book of Skank: Learning to Move to Reggae Music- We will first explore cultural dances from around the world, and then look at specific categories of dance including: performance, competitive, political, community-building, commercial, fitness, and therapeutic dance. Next, we will delve deeper into the community-building dance done with reggae music: Skanking. The history of reggae and details sharing how the reggae movement was born to address oppression and 400 years of slavery will also serve as the foundational knowledge for the reasons why we are coming together to dance to reggae music.
