La MaMa Kids Online: BEAUTIFUL WORLD
BEAUTIFUL WORLD — dance hula with Miss Marina
Come with us on an interactive story-telling and story-sharing journey with Miss Marina. We will learn a hula together, we will learn what we can do to protect our world together, and we will explore how you can come up with your own hand gestures to make your story dance.

La MaMa Kids
La MaMa Kids Online presents kids performances and hands-on workshops online, timed especially for “after school” viewing! La MaMa will continue to use emerging technologies to create a new venue for artistic expression that questions how art can function and how we as a society can survive challenging periods of history.
