Learning about the world through dance is exciting but not as exciting as learning about yourself. Whether we couple the practice of d ance with other topics such as freedom or interpretive studies\, hermeneuti cs and social justice\, ethnography or rhythm and style— it’s all storytell ing\, fun through self-expression!\n\nThis time together may be a wander\, a get-to it event or some disco dancing! Let’s explore you and me through dance\; the human condition\, the lived experience\, tell our stories\, you r stories\, through dance. I encourage you to awaken your critical consciou sness in pursuit of emancipation\, expressiveness and creativity. Ground yo urself as you flash your spirit\, ascend\, expand and connect.\n\nMichèle M oss (B.Ed/M.A.)(she/her) is a dancer\, choreographer\, academic researcher and community educator.
