Traditional Dance

Dance is very important part of culture. The youth at LAO America are given a chance to learn traditional dances.

We have volunteers that have grown up dancing in the program teaching your children. The traditional dances that we do here are truly our own: taught and performed.

The children will also use the dances that they learn to showcase to the commmunity. In the past the students have performed at the Festival of Nations and at other community events.

We would like to cintinue the traditional dances in our programming because it teaches patience, dedication, practice, and determination to achieve goals.

Please look forward to future performances by your children
