This talk explored “the power and potential of our interconnectedness—on the dance floor and off. As we move and groove together, sharing rhythm and energy, hip hop culture invites us to understand ourselves in relation to the music, to each other, to the environment, to the vibe.”

This talk preceded the department’s inaugural dance event “Community Show & Groove” in May 2024, described eloquently in the Bowdoin Orient by Nadia Celis at http://bowdoinorient.com/2024/05/03/a-party-like-no-other-at-bowdoin/
