DEAFinitely Dance
Get ready to sign and dance! Please join us on Saturday, January 25 in the auditorium at Nevins Memorial Library as Boston Children's Hospital welcomes DEAFinitely Dance for a performance and workshop for families and children of all ages. As a Boston based non-profit, the youth and leadership of DEAFinitely represent multi-lingual, cultural, racial, and socio-economic diversity. Through its Performance Crew, Deaf Youth Council mentoring program, and mental health initiatives, DEAFinitely is changing perspectives and putting American Sign Language and Deaf culture in the forefront of diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility.
Enjoy an uplifting and moving performance by the Performance Crew followed by an interactive workshop where children and families will receive dance instruction enhanced by incorporating ASL in to the movements. No prior dance experience is required, just bring an open mind and comfortable dancing shoes. This event is ideal for children ages 5 - 18 but can still be enjoyed by all ages. Doors will open for the performance at 11:45, and the performance will begin at 12:00. Lunch will be provided at the conclusion of the workshop, around 12:45/1:00.
Please email DHHPOutreach@childrens.harvard.edu to register for the event. Please include the total number of attendees and ages of children.
