Letter to Parents

Hello Parents

I am Macaco and I offer children education in:

  • Afro-Brazilian Drumming

  • Capoeira Dance/Martial Art and expressive movement

  • Call and response and improvisational singing

I believe in safe space for authentic education where teachable moments chaperone enrichment play. A Liberation Arts activity that exemplifies this is: Be an Artistic Director of Short Plays. Many of my programs activities reinforce academic skills through the arts; this Percussion Lesson is an example.

Participating in expressive arts teaches children how to shine in the spotlight, how to be a team player and how to play we-win-they-win. They grow focus, discipline, respect and community. This education is powerful preperation for the changing world of the very near future.

Reach out to me, I would love to talk to you about anything. Please also review our COVID statement.

Sincerely,

Macaco Nova Yolk my bio
