Devon "Steel Toe" Wallace
In this workshop popular Teaching Artist and captivating Performer, Devon "Steel Toe" Wallace shares ideas and realizations about racial equity and how dance naturally celebrates and offers a structure for social movements to prosper and create lasting change. With a specific lens focused on Black Revisionism and performative allyship, Devon begins this workshop with current mainstream social dances, street and club style culture. We continue with enlightening discussion highlighting often overlooked Black contributions to vernacular/technical dance. From here, the group collectively works together to build action steps and tools to cultivate authentic allyship with the Black community that uplifts and supports Black dance in its truest most veritable forms.
