Why use dance for liberation? How do we embody liberation, envision radically, and manifest a better world? Dancer, anthropologist, and educator Pearl Primus respond, “Why do I dance? Dance is my medicine. It's the scream which eases for a while the terrible frustration common to all human beings who because of race, creed, or color, are 'invisible'. Dance is the fist with which I fight the sickening ignorance of prejudice” (Boyd, 2018). This paper describes a dance-in-education curriculum designed to encourage students to respond to these inquiries using Primus’ words as a catalyst. Calling upon historical examples of dance being used as an instrument for social change and the tenets of culturally responsive pedagogy, the curriculum aims to build a foundation from which dance students can further build agency and engage in advocating for a more just world.
