Description
In this episode of Society’s Waltz we look at the life of traditional hoop dancer, James Jones, and how he used his TikTok fame to educate others on indigenous lifestyles and culture. How social media has moved dancers to push themselves to their literal limits in the name of winning at competition. And an exclusive interview with Andrea Yeo, the Indigenous Support Teacher at Seycove Secondary.
