Deeper Learning 2023

Participants can expect to leave with a new understanding of the Disco Movement's little-understood revolutionary role in bringing together African-American, Latin, White, Hetero, and LGBTQ cultures in the 1970's. We will dig into historical documents and video to understand the movement and era, as well as the White supremacist social backlash that tried to extinguish it. We will also learn through dance, so participants can expect to leave with a physical understanding of disco as a dance genre, and lots of disco moves. I hope participants will leave with a mission to bring more dance and movement to enrich their school cultures. No history with disco or dance required, but participants should try to bring some disco clothes to wear!
