“Mommy & Me” Program - Storytelling, Drumming & Dance
Sharron Miller
Open to mothers in Newark, Irvington, Orange, and East Orange, Sharron Miller’s Academy for the Performing Arts (SMAPA) and the Greater Newark Health Care Coalition (GNHCC) present a free 3-week virtual program for mothers and their children ages 0-8.
Based on the West African GRIOT/DJELI tradition, this program will consist of music, dance, and drum rhythms that connect storytelling to movement and music. Mothers and their children will bond while experiencing wellness, healing, and exercise through African dance and movement games, drum rhythms, singalongs, and storytime.
Free virtual class meets via Zoom every Tuesday and Thursday.
Mothers with babies ages 0-4 meet 11 a.m.-12 noon. Mothers with kids ages 5-8 meet 12-1 p.m.
If you live in Newark, Irvington, or East Orange, please fill out the registration form and we will email you the Zoom link.
