Welcome to episode 7 of the You Can Call Me Karen Podcast! Today we have a question for Gen Z and Gen Alpha. Can we see you 1, 2, step? We have noticed a decline of social dance amongst middle and high schoolers so this week we will discuss what might be the culprit. Could the rise of social media, smart phones, and digital entertainment be to blame for the shift away from face-to-face interaction and community dancing? Tune in as we dive into the impact of technology on youth socialization and how platforms like TikTok, Instagram, and Snapchat have changed the way young people connect with each other. Are these digital spaces replacing the need for in-person social experiences like dancing?
