Essential viewing!
This episode concisely pinpoints the importance of recognizing the historical roots of various dance forms. More importantly, it spotlights how corporations and people in power appropriate those forms without giving compensation, support, or acknowledgment to the communities and cultures in which they developed.
I have been teaching African-American jazz dances for over 20 years. This episode is spot-on and I can't recommend it more as an introduction to this topic.
