(May 19, 2010) Janice Ross, Professor and Director of the Dance Division in the Drama Department at Stanford University, discusses a service-learning course that she began eight years ago that brings Stanford students into local juvenile halls to teach dance to incarcerated teenagers and how this experience impacts understanding about the relationship of aesthetics to politics.

@Jepp1505 Look at your comment. Back to mine. Back to yours NOW BACK TO MINE. Sadly, it isn't mine. But if you stopped trolling and started posting legitimate crap it could LOOK like mine. Look down, back up, where are you? You're scrolling through comments, finding the ones that your comment could look like. Back at mine, what is it? It's a highly effective counter-troll. Look again, MY COMMENT IS NOW DIAMONDS.

Anything is possible when you think before you comment or post.
