First, I share what I’ve learned about the thesis so far and how I gained that knowledge. Then, I make recommendations to rising juniors and seniors regarding the thesis process.
It might make sense to think that the dance floor between two battling crews is a gender-neutral space. At the very least, every dancer is compelled into a uniformly masculine identity in this male-dominated form of dance. However, that hasn’t been my experience.
