Appropriation of Dance

The dance communities in Edmonton are diverse, with each style carrying its own unique history and culture. However, while these dance styles should be celebrated, there is a fine line between the appreciation and appropriation of both the dance styles and the cultures within which they are intertwined. Join Jaqueline Karathra and Samantha Erron Gibbon as they delve into the world of Bharatanatyam, Jigging and Jingle dance, sharing their stories of both the significance of these dances and how they have been a victim to cultural appropriation.
