About Me

The World Dance Office at Portland State University is a Student-run organization that promotes dance,in general, on the PSU campus, and city-wide; promotes diversity; and our big thing: we organize dance and music workshops and events. We have a special interest in music and dance from the African Diaspora, but we love dance in general.
