Majinn
Tues 6:00pm-7:30pm
Mjinn (They/Them) is a queer, disabled, mixed Black dance artist and educator who utilizes their training in multiple dance forms to find and express their whole self. Majinn works to help guide people in becoming more confident and connected in their bodies, find joy in their movement and be able to speak their voices through Black social dance forms. One of Majinn’s main goals in dance is to continue to spread the histories of street/club dance forms in and out of academia so that the cultures are learned and more respected. Majinn also aims to give back to the communities that these art forms were created from through any way they can. You can find Majinn under Majinn_Moves on Instagram.
