2021 Issue (press release announcement)

The Cyber-Rock Mixtape: A virtual hip hop dance listening cypher 
edited by grace shinhae jun and MiRi "seoulsonyk" Park 

As a multi-media publication, Cyber-Rock Mixtape is a particularly accessible and useful teaching tool. Each video and its accompanying transcript stands alone as an easily assigned viewing/reading to engender vibrant class discussion.  Furthermore and as a continued act of investment in these histories and people, please reach out to DSA for information on inviting any one of these hip hop practitioners to give a lecture, master class, and/or lecture/demonstration. Cyber-Rock Mixtape tells a living history, and we encourage dance studies educators to engage with its respondents directly, as an act of political, financial, and cultural investment.
