The spring semester for Language and Dance Classes will be starting on Sunday, January 22. Our language class, taught by Ms. Li Ye, is based on conversational Chinese, so the emphasis is on speaking and understanding. We enforce vocabulary and concepts learned in class through Chinese songs and games. The classes have culture based themes that change every month and class activities are centered around them. Also, we are planning to create a short play for the students based on phrases and vocabulary learned in class over the year, and it will be performed at our End of the Year Banquet, tentatively set for May 19. Our dance class teaches both traditional Chinese dances as well as children’s hip hop dances taught by Ms. Yu Xiaojie, and all dances will be performed at the End of the Year Banquet as well.

Also, for children who aren’t sure whether or not they want to take classes, we will be offering our first class of the spring semester for free (January 22), so children can have a “trial class” before they decide whether or not they’d like to attend regularly. Everyone is welcome to attend this first class and hopefully will stay with us for the rest of the school year as well!

Students may choose to register in either the language or dance or both. Payment can be made online through PayPal or by checks made payable to Hand in Hand Chinese.
