House Dance

Tightly connected to house music, house dance emerged in Chicago and New York club scenes in the 1980s as liberating spaces for marginalized communities – mainly Black, Latino, and LGBTQ. Its vocabulary draws from African dance forms, tap, jazz, martial arts, latin dances, and more, and centers on freedom of expression. House is not just a technique; it is a social and cultural practice rooted in collective liberating experience.
