Rap usually talks about events of everyday life‚ and the song “Changes” talks about racial profiling‚ poverty‚ and how racism affects

April Richards My Earliest Recollection of Dance My earliest recollection of dance up until now is when I was around 8 or 9 years old I would go to my aunt’s house for summer vacations and spring break to spend with my cousin who was 6 years older than me.

These were “Ostrich” performed by Charles Moore and “Junkie” performed by Eleo Pomare. “Ostrich” starts off with the dancer coming on stage only wearing a feather skirt to an African style drum beat
