Heather Castillo and MiRi Park share about humanized online dance classes (and dance as protest) on episode 340 of the Teaching in Higher Ed podcast.

Quotes from the episode

When I went to college I was being modeled into this modern dancer, I didn’t necessarily know what that meant, but I still wanted to be the best.
