Bay Area POC CI Jam Mission Statement

The POC Jam will provide a much-needed space for existing and future POC dancers to be centered within the larger CI community. Additionally, we hope the jam will support the evolution of the BayArea CI community into a more diverse, inclusive and equitable space. Our hopes and guiding intentions for the jam are as follows:

To create a safer/braver space for POC within the historically and predominantly white CI community.
To create a more accessible entry point into CI for POC who have yet to be introduced to the form.
To provide quality and beginner friendly CI training for existing and new POC dancers.
To serve as a bridge for new POC dancers wishing to join the larger CI community.

COST: Suggested Donation $15-25, no one turned away

These offerings are made as part Artists and Activists in Residence, a program of Sense Object, made possible with funds from the City of Berkeley.
