Dorrance Dance promotes controversial policies on its website, including 'prison abolition'

The New York City tap dancing troupe enlisted by first lady Jill Biden for a Christmas video promotes controversial far-left ideologies, including abolishing prisons and defunding the police.

The first lady got lit up on Twitter over her Wednesday video featuring Dorrance Dance performing a "playful interpretation of The Nutcracker Suite" in the White House.

However, outside the candy-coating, Dorrance Dance promotes controversial policies, including "prison abolition."

Dorrance Dance's "take action for justice [and] change" website page pushes readers to join their local Black Lives Matter or Showing Up for Racial Justice (SURJ) chapters while including a quote from SURJ directly below it on their website.

"In this moment, we know there are thousands of white people who are looking for direction and a way to show up alongside black communities and communities of color. Welcome," the quote reads. "You are needed. Here are a few ways to start showing up – not just in words but in action."

The quote was pulled from SURJ's May 2020 Medium article, "5 Ways White People Can Take Action in Response to White and State-Sanctioned Violence."

On the same page, Dorrance Dance pushes readers to "get involved" in "prison abolition" work while pointing users to far-left organizations, including M4BL – which advocates for defunding the police.

Additionally, the organization pushes website users toward the organization Critical Resistance, which "seeks to build an international movement to end the prison industrial complex (PIC) by challenging the belief that caging and controlling people makes us safe," as well as INCITE! – a "network of radical feminists of color organizing to end state violence and violence in our homes and communities."

My guess: Jill Biden really had nothing to do with it. Obama orchestrated it and compelled the Bidens to run it under their name.

Huge clue! And adds weight to my suspicion.

Just one more turd from Chomo Joe’s diaper to dump on America. He really does hate us. Both of them are grotesque garbage humans.

Marxist idiots who think like this are black people's worst enemies. Their cancerous ideology has destroyed black families for decades now.

That whole dumb-ass dance routine was based on the Nutcracker?

The Biden’s, who by the way have very little class, pervert everything they touch, even Christmas.

I'm thankful the nativity scene was not on display in the midst of this "revelry".

Dr. Jill Biden’s Hunger Games White House Christmas theme was received by the public like a turd in the punch bowl.

I am against prison industrial complex also. But only if no one commits any crimes also. Till then, I want prisons and jails, and holding cells for all criminals. Until proven not guilty by a fair court of law.
As for the shortsighted dance company. I am sure some will change their tune when they, or their friends are robbed, shot or stabbed, and left for dead, and the perps will be set free in order to repeat the crimes.

--- "It was demonic."

I think that was and is the point.

I believe the phrase "hot mess" was invented to cover a disgrace like that.
