Dance has always been used as a site of both resistance and expression. For Thanu, free public dance parties offer an opportunity to rebuild neighbourhoods, boost community relationships and increase multiracial solidarity. Listen closely as Thanu deep dives on the potential of dance parties in this moment, where hope, connection and relationships to one another are more important than ever.
