My performing life is taking a backseat to current events. I am still taking classes because dancing is a form of self-care. However, I am making more an effort to choose black instructors, just I make sure my shows have POC (and that my all-POC shows include a range of skin color). I am using my information to compile a list of black burlesque, drag, and pole performers and teachers I know. Give them your money and support. Listen to what they have to say.
