The Music Center Offers Free Online Arts
Programs for Lawndale Elementary School
The Music Center is offering its second online production from their “Inside Look” series, this time featuring Ballet Hispánico at 50. The program is 34 minutes long but it includes four choreographies that can be presented at different times. Ballet Hispánico’s program is
relevant to Dance, Physical Education, Music, History/Social Studies, and Visual Arts. The works featured are a fusion of ballet and contemporary dance inspired by traditional arts forms such as Flamenco, Mariachi, and Afro-Cuban music and dance. Members of the company
provide insights on the historical context as well as the creation of each choreography. At the end of the program, the Artistic Director teaches a fun Merengue routine that everyone can do at home (or in the office). This program is in alignment with our district-wide arts
integration endeavor. It is an excellent program offered at no cost to teachers, students, and families. Enjoy. To watch the program go to: https://bit.ly/3oqXD9P. Photo courtesy Lawndale Elementary School District.

We love our stories of bootstrapping our
businesses and self-reliance. They work very
well as inspiration to work hard and always do
our best. But despite their individualistic ideals,
these stories are not built for a population
in isolation. Sitting at home reminds us of all
the projects we wanted to do but didn’t have
time for, except now we get to feel guilty or
inadequate because we still don’t want to do
them. We feel bad when we are not “productive,”
as if “producing” was something that we
as human animals are required to do.
Personal, social, and economic uncertainty is
at all time high. It is totally fine to feel lousy.
There are some things you can do. Connection
eases many woes, and connection
has suffered dearly this year. It is not just the
connections with our friends and loved ones,
but the smaller ones, too: at the coffee shop,
the dry cleaners, in church. Are you able to
work at connection, perhaps calling up an
old friend or two? If not, let me know. I can
help connect you to others who are eager to
connect safely.
As these strange times stretch on, you may
find it helpful to change or eliminate certain
practices. For example, if you value learning,
focus on learning instead of on grades. If you
value friendship, focus on the friendships that
are most important to you. If you value time
together as a family, perhaps it’s less stressful
to spend it eating popcorn in bed than it is to
corral everyone for dinner at seven.
Finally, remember that this is hard. Mental
work is real work, and many of us are doing
much more of it than ever before. You may
be exhausted and exasperated and by yourself,
and in that you are in very good company.
