Dance is one of the most diverse art forms. Most are familiar with the classical styles, like ballet, contemporary and jazz, but dance is far bigger and more diverse than these few styles. The American South is home to a plethora of styles, from social dances to regional to street; there is no shortage of movement. While most dance studios in the area focus more on the classical styles and developing competition-level dancers, Purpose Dance Studio, the newest addition to the studio scene, is taking a completely different approach. Focusing more on Hip Hop, Breaking, Popping, and Afro Fusion, the studio is a growing hub for street dancers and dancers of styles who have fewer spaces to learn, practice and perfect their art, including Christian Praise Dance. Purpose Dance Studio is a vision realized for owner Nature Vyree Young. A Hilton Head, South Carolina native, US Army Veteran and most importantly a mom, Young has made her home here in Fayetteville.

You witness a stranger berating a service worker in public. Recording could create accountability and protect the worker, but posting the video could expose everyone involved to a permanent online audience.
