Dancing Grounds (DG) and the People's Institute for Survival and Beyond (PISAB) will cultivate the next generation of southern artist activists through our Dance for Social Change (DSC) Freedom Schools. Freedom Schools train young artists using an arts-based approach to PISAB's Undoing Racism® and Community Organizing workshop, culminating in a Youth Town Hall and Dance for Social Change Festival that brings youth, professional artists, and policymakers together to advance social justice.
