Plant a seed, in every beautiful corner of the world! This summer, school age children and their families are invited to join our weekly World Wednesday program from 6/10 to 8/5. Each week we will go on an adventure to a different part of the world through craft, performance, or activity. This is the perfect opportunity to explore and celebrate the diverse world cultures!
Hula is a traditional Hawaiian dance with graceful movements and energetic music. In today's program, Ilima Young-Dunn, a professional Polynesian dancer will share a little about the history of the hula dance – why it was first danced on the islands, how the dance form was almost lost, and how King David Kalakaua saved the hula by bringing it back in a new form. Join us in this fun workshop as we understand the narrative aspect of the hula and how it uses hand gestures to tell a story, see some of the many props and costume pieces used in performance, and finally get up and try a simple version of the hula yourself!
种下一粒种子，在世界上每一个美丽的角落！暑假期间我们诚邀学龄儿童及家人参加6月10日至8月5日每周三举办的“世界星期三”活动。每期活动中我们将通过手工、表演等各种活动来到不同的国家和地区开启一段探索之旅，共同了解和庆祝多姿多彩的世界文化！
