Real Talk/Real Moves: new class for teens at Destiny Arts Center

New class at Destiny Arts Center for teens!

Mon & Wed, 6 to 7:30pm @ 1000 42nd St, Oakland CA starting Feb 9th, 2009.

The purpose of the Real Talk/Real Moves class is to provide young people with a safe space to express what they are going through - personally, academically, spiritually, emotionally, etc. The students will also be introduced to basic self-defense techniques as well as have a space to express themselves artistically through dance, theater and creative writing. Another important aspect of this class is a community engagement project that the group will devise and implement.

The class is taught by two of our veteran instructors who have been immersed in this specific curriculum. One is a dancer (Rashidi) and the other is a martial artist and a licensed therapist (Michele).
