Join professional dancers Iman and Khadijah as they share their stories, movements, and journeys as Muslim, Tsalagi, and Black Jamaican twins. This session will encompass guided movement (a flow of breath and intensional postures), dance, and collective conversation. All are welcome, no prior dance experience necessary.

For Iman and Khadijah, dance is an expression of their Muslim religion. The twins never set foot on the stage without their Hijabs. The dancers are 2016 National YoungArts Award recipients and the youngest artists to win a Minnesota Sage Cowles. With all the art they bring to the world, they create spaces of peace, beauty, meditation, and acceptance.
