A big thank you to EY Mentor Kaleho for his presentation on From Ceremony to Social Dance: Exploring Movement Across Cultures ✨ It was enriching to learn about dance throughout the years, how various cultures have used dance for different purposes, and bachata basics🕺🏾💃🏽 Thank you Kaleho!

Big thank you to our EY Mentor Abrianna for her presentation on Dance: A Tool of Connection and Wellness! We learned about dance through different Indigenous cultures and their ties to ancestral traditions, land, nature, and community. Through her thoughtful activity, we were able to move our body and venture outside of our comfort zones to learn some line dance. Thank you Abrianna! 🥰🤎✨
