Michael O’Neal Jr. (Majinn) is a queer mixed race African American dance artist and educator who utilizes his training in both street and classical dance styles to find and express his whole self. Majinn believes that to be the best dancer and person he can be he should be versatile and push his own comfort zone. Through dance he has grown to become an educator who loves to see growth in his students, people and himself. Through dance Majinn aims to help people become more confident in their bodies, express themselves and be confident speaking their voice rather than just become better dancers on and off of the dance floor. Two of Majinn’s biggest goals in dance are to spread the histories of street/club styles dance in and out of university so that the cultures are learned and more respected in the art world. As well as to give back to the communities that these art forms were created and to provide a safer space for people of the communities to learn how to be more in touch with themselves and their bodies through dance.
