Social Justice in Dance

Social justice in dance refers to promoting fairness, equity, and inclusion within the dance community. It involves recognizing and addressing barriers such as racism, sexism, ableism, and economic disparities that affect dancers, choreographers, and audiences. This approach aims to create diverse opportunities, represent varied voices, and challenge oppressive structures, ensuring all individuals can participate, express themselves, and be valued regardless of their background. In essence, social justice in dance seeks to make the art form more equitable and reflective of the diverse society it serves.
