Read more about this incredible group on our website

The Davalois Fearon Dance (DFD) Arts & Social Justice program 
is designed for college students and recent graduates to develop the community, resources, and skills necessary to navigate and combat racial and social justice issues in the field of dance. The 3-month pilot program will be for an invited cohort. It is designed to give participants an overview of race-related to the dance world and academia, the business side of dance, and arts and social justice best practices.  As a part of this program, students will directly interface with DFD’s social justice initiative, Time to Talk Initiative, which in conjunction with the choreographic work, provides the community with resources and ways to take immediate and long-term action. ​

THANK YOU FOR COMING!!
