Dance and Movement – Sheenru Yong

How does a lion roar, or an eagle soar?  Come shake it up and stretch it out in this exciting yoga dance class!  We’ll explore the movement and postures of animals, warriors, and natural wonders, and then see where else the imagination of our bodies takes us.  No spirit too small or inflexible to have fun with this creative expression.

Afrique en Mouvement – Kattam

Kattam offers children a first look at the beautiful continent of Africa.  As the children dance along to the upbeat rhythms of the djembe, the balafon, the darbuka and the gongoma, they will learn the names of African countries, move to the dance of the desert, go on a jungle expedition and more.

Her first graphic novel Lillian the Legend, published in 2008 by Conundrum Press, chronicals the journey of Lillian Alling, a Russian immigrant who walked from New York to Russia in the 1920s.
