BALLET
Shall we dance? Well, we did! Our dear ballet teacher, Tatiana, gave an online ballet class to our lovely ballerinas, via Zoom application. It was a lovely experience, especially because these girls have been taking ballet classes with Tatiana for a couple of years now, so they know and love the routines they’ve learned with her in the past. The class comprised of a revision of the main ballet steps and some stretching exercises at the end. After the class was over, one of the students named Stephanie expressed her excitement about going back to ballet class, especially after almost a yearlong confinement without any fun activities. She said she missed the class so much and she misses have an outlet that makes her forget about school and studying for a while!
DERBAKE
Derbake is very popular in Lebanon and the instrument is relatively cheap and widely available. It was an occasion to start delivering classes online for free. The youngsters were joyful and eager to learn more and asked in anticipation of future sessions. With the generous time of the Derbake teacher, we are planning 4 sessions for May, 2021.
THEATER
Theater for kids has many therapeutic effects. It can release stress and help kids and teens express themselves. The first online session went very well and kids were very excited about continuing the sessions. The drama teacher will deliver 4 sessions in May, 2021.
MINDFULNESS FOR MOMS
Mothers too have been undergoing a lot of stress. Mr. Matta introduced them to mindfulness practice. They started with a mindful breathing. Then an enquiry session followed. The moms were very appreciative of the technique and wanted that these sessions follow. Some reported a relief they have never felt since years.
