Music and dance have the power to bring people together. Using both of those tools with ASL, DEAFinitely, Inc. can bring together deaf, hard-of-hearing, and hearing youth together to spark social change.
The local nonprofit hosts workshops, a dance program, and mentoring program for students.
Assistant Dance Direct Felicia McGinnis explains that their mission is “to recognize the diversity within the group and emphasize what deaf culture is.”
McGinnis continues, “What we do is provide guidance and community equity using ASL and be a model for what that looks like.” They also integrate ASL and dance for students regardless of their abilities.
