How can a new movement practice become a framework for decolonizing the body? En Ritmo a movement praxis in decolonizing traditional dance spaces utilizes elements of bomba (the song, music and dance form) of Puerto Rico and contemporary dance to aid the development of an alternative movement practice to traditional dance forms of North American. En Ritmo aims to elucidate the concept of decolonization and how it can be applied to the movement of the body through journaling, communing, journeying through repetition, movement, and rhythmic investigation. Centering the auto, locating the self and situating within the collective.
