As of November 1st members of our community lost one essential government service that keeps them and their families fed. Many organizations, community leaders, neighbors and friends are coming together to fill in the gaps while we wait for the government to fulfill its obligations to the SNAP food assistance program. If you or someone you know is looking for food access, here are some resources that should help.

Perfect for all ages, this class blends the upbeat rhythms of hip hop with easy-to-follow choreography, making it fun for children of all ages and their family members. Come ready to sweat, smile, and dance like nobody’s watching!
More about Jarell Rochelle: “For those who I have yet to meet – my name is Jarell Howard IV Rochelle, and I’m a movement artist, speaking artist, educator, and performer dedicated to the transformative power of authentic Xpression through hip-hop – street dance, and multidisciplinary art forms. Growing up in the vibrant and diverse community of Alief, Texas, I was immersed in a rich cultural tapestry that shaped my artistic journey and fueled my passion for dance and storytelling. […] At the core of my work is my teaching pedagogy, Xpress VIBE, where we provide performances, workshops, and educational programs that emphasize the power of self-expression through hip-hop culture and street dance styles. Our services are designed to address the need for creative outlets in communities, particularly for young people of color and/or any marginalized audiences who often find their voices stifled or overlooked. We aim to create spaces where individuals can explore and express their emotions through dance, storytelling, and other art forms. Currently- I employ my teaching pedagogy in my courses at Salem State University as a newly appointed associate professor of dance in the Music & Dance Department at Salem State tasked with revitalizing and re-imagining the Hip Hop Concentration and what the focused major constitutes – street dance is a HUGE piece in the academic landscaping puzzle.”
