Belly Dancing and Er Hus at PS 308

Music is in the air at the PS 308's after school program! A new program called Global Music has recently begun and is showing the students music from Hong Kong to Morocco. The first class looked at traditional Chinese instruments and the students even got a bit of a tune of of them! Another class had a Moroccan belly dancer get the students moving their bodies like Shakira. Next class is still up for grabs!! Will they be doing an Irish jig or beating on African drums? Either way, they will be enjoying themselves and documenting the program to create their own movie of music from around the world. We'll make sure to keep you posted!

See What We're Doing!
