Dance company hired by Biden White House for Christmas video has radical far-left, anti-white policies

Senior fellow at the Claremont Institute Jeremy Carl discovered that the group that put on the festive display was Dorrance Dance, which holds views that are "anti-white racist, anti-police." The group was founded in 2011 by McCarthur fellow Michelle Dorrance and the dance was choreographed by Dorrance and Josette Wiggan.

"A bit of magic, wonder, and joy brought to you by the talented tappers of Dorrance Dance, performing their playful interpretation of The Nutcracker Suite. Enjoy!" The First Lady said.

On the website for Dorrance Dance, they advocate for far-left causes.

They advocate for anti-racist activities, encouraging people to take action. They have a section dedicated to "education," offering "For those who are investigating or have questions about white privilege, systemic racism, white fragility, and anti-racism for the very first time: antiracismforbeginners.com answers all the basic questions in a very straightforward way."

The group provides an "anti-racist syllabus" including books, films, and more, with a quote from Ibram X Kendi in all lowercase: "this anti-racist syllabus is for people realizing they were never taught how to be anti-racist. how to treat all the racial groups as equals. how to look at the racial inequity all around and look for the racist policies producing it, and the racist ideas veiling it. this list is for people beginning their anti-racist journey after a lifetime of defensively saying, 'i’m not a racist' or 'i can’t be a racist.' beginning after a lifetime of assuring themselves only bad people can be racist."

Dorrance Dance encourages people to give money to anti-police groups and LGBTQIA+ causes as well. At the White House tree lighting earlier this month, President Joe Biden spoke to the theme of the holiday this season, saying that "magic, wonder, and joy" is a message "to rediscover for ourselves the simple joys of the season, from familiar songs to favorite recipes; to open the hearts with simple acts of kindness, especially to those — those going through hard times; and to strengthen the bonds with family and friends, as well as with our faith and our community; to remember we're a great nation because we're a good people."
