From Jazz Cabarets to Raves: The Politics of Dance and Black Joy

This week on the Black House Black Joy podcast, we talk about the history of the criminalization of dance, tracing its roots from jazz cabarets to modern-day raves in the UK.

In honor of Black Music Month, we explore how dancing and public expression are not only beautiful acts but also powerful political statements. Join us as we hear from the insightful voices of WBGO On Air Host Sheila Anderson, Dance Music Scholar Nico Rosario, and Journalist Craig Seymour.
