Here's a story from the LA Times about the Hollywood Bowl Series that encourages kids to experience the performing arts, including dance, from faraway places:<P> <A HREF="http://www.calendarlive.com/family/20000713/t000066008.html" TARGET=_blank>http://www.calendarlive.com/family/20000713/t000066008.html</A>

I brought this article about arts programs for children at the Hollywood Bowl back up because I was wondering about other programs around the country that awaken a fire in children for dance and the performing arts. I know they exist, and I would be interested to know what they "look like," where they are located. What dance forms are used, and in what creative way. Is the program attached to another event? <BR>Rebekah, I think you might have some input on this. <BR>With the interest in "world music" enjoying popularity, it would make sense that dance, in its many forms, would jump on the bandwagon. <p>[This message has been edited by Maggie (edited July 19, 2000).]
