Destiny Arts Center has been participating in, teaching, and preserving dance styles from the African Diaspora for 30 years. We believe that when we teach dance and movement-based arts, it is important to connect students to the roots of the forms they are learning. As a community, we are grounded in an Oakland lineage where Hip Hop music and Street Dance are central in the history and culture.
The Street Dance Curriculum MixTape is a living document co-authored by Mika Lemoine and Rashidi Omari that offers educators and practitioners of Street Dance cultural context, history and teaching tools that ground students in their art form’s living legacy.
