Students will be briefly informed of who Martin Luther King is, what he stood for, why and how.

I have enjoyed creating this dance in jazz and hip as well and along with lyrical and modern, it is still an amazing this to see students get into it their own unique ways...through movement.
There are no pre-reqs for this class.
Students are encouraged to wear something that is comfortable. I encourage them to bring water or have it near for hydration. They do not have to wear shoes as socks are fine but please consider the floor that you'll use as it may be slippery.
