Hello everyone, here’s another reminder the World Rhythm Festival is scheduled for April 25-27, 2008 and the deadline for proposals is November 30th 2007.

We are also sending a call out to all Drum and Dance teachers to participate in our Celebration of Youth Day. Teachers of the youth classes are free to present any material that fits into our broad program goals. Facilitators may also have the option of leading two
sessions back to back (~50 minutes each allowing time for movement between workshops). We are letting the adults who bring the children know that they will need to attend the classes with the children. So they will not be leaving the children in your care!

The focus of Celebration of Youth Day is to support and encourage our youth 5 years old and up to express themselves through music and dance and showcase their talents. As schools will be in session during that week we are inviting schools to arrange field trips to
come and join us. We are also inviting the community at large to participate and support Celebration of Youth Day.

The day will look like this: 10:00 12:00 workshops
12:15-2:00 Youth

Performances
2:15- 4:00 workshops

If you are interested in teaching for Celebration of Youth Day please indicate on your proposal. You can submit proposals at the SWPS website. For more information contact me at 206-353-5561.


Look forward to hearing from you.
