In the Micheltorena Parent Dance class parents are, increasingly, taking the lead and creating their own moves! Encouraged by Bluepalm instructors Sara Pfeifle and Tom Crocker, parents now invent more and more of the steps for their peers.  The goal is parent ownership of their own healthy, exciting movement class.  Quality, clarity, and leadership are discussed as important learning tools for parents… and their children.

Next class:  Friday Jan. 27 at 10 A.M.

Micheltorena Parent Dance class makes connections between learning and the body to build understanding about the benefits of arts-based learning.  The class is a part of the Micheltorena Arts Plan (MAP) which receives funding from the Friends of Micheltorena, California Arts Council, The Thelma Pearl Howard Foundation, and the City of Los Angeles Department of Cultural Affairs.
