Center for Indigenous Studies Presents

Community Sing Circle

A Community Sing and Movement Circle is a gathering space to commune, heal, rejoice and reflect collectively through the power of song and movement. Drawing upon African and African American traditions of song and movement as vectors of liberation, participants will sing and move while engaging in the discovery and rediscovery of their communal points of connection. No prior movement or singing experience is required. A body, a voice, and an open and willing spirit is all that one needs to bring.
