On this episode of Shake a Leg, Erica and Maritess begin their multi-part series on dance as labor. We can’t talk about labor without talking about power and we definitely discuss power and power structures in this episode. We’re thinking about how we want the world to look when we get out of this pandemic and specifically how the dance world can do better. In this episode, we focus on dance and the body, mostly from a ballet perspective.
