Chats Vol.4: Black Men and Dance

In the wake of the 2024 Presidential election and the dismantling of DEI initiatives that have long supported Black studies and affinity spaces, alongside enduring and newly emerging debates about Black masculinity and the Black male body, this issue of Chats turns its attention to Black men in dance as a vital site of inquiry, memory, and inheritance. What new histories of Black men in dance emerge when we center the voices of those working in K–12 classrooms, community spaces, and the academy? How might Black men’s movement practices and artistic labor complicate the narrow scripts of visibility, stoicism, and spectacle imposed upon them—from boyhood to manhood, from student to professional? And how do these practices invite us to rethink the very terms through which Black men in dance are studied, remembered, and carried forward?

Introduction by DSA Editorial Fellow Shacon Jones II
