Tik Tok Takeover: In a time of extreme isolation, dance is being utilized as a form of expression, escape, and connection through popularized choreographed snippets on the app Tik Tok. After a good warm up, we will explore how dances on Tik Tok reflect current societal feelings and conversations. We will identify key choreographic elements and choose whether to accept or challenge them in our own Tik Tok dance creation. Join us to work out, wonder, and maybe even "woah".
