This week we’re chatting with blues dancer, educator, and event organizer Vicci Moore. Vicci shares insights into the post-COVID blues community landscape and her personal journey of discovering and teaching blues dance. We delve into Vicci’s essay on cultural appropriation covering a range of topics from African-American dance aesthetics to the nuanced role of sexuality and its expression in dance. Vicci shares how her approach to partner dancing has evolved, the inequalities between leaders and followers in the community, and tackling the imposter syndrome.
