UW Community Arts Collaboratory

**SPOTLIGHT** Hara is years old and in 1st grade. She come to dance group at MYArts from Northport Community center. This past year, Hara has showed up weekly with enthusiasm to dance and move her body. This year she's blossomed as a creator and is excited to see all the ways she can make new movements that highlight how she feels. Hara loves dance because "it feels good to dance and it helps when I'm angry or when I'm sad or in a mood to help me feel happy again. It makes me happy and calm and it's fun! I like to do the dance that we made and I also like that I'm here and present."
