We were happy to return to The Hochstein School to fulfill a Grant request.  Our funds will support their Arts4All program where Hochstein instructors provide the students at School 19 additional opportunities to learn, grow, and express themselves through music and dance. Programming is built right into their school day every Wednesday. Sixth, 7th and 8th graders are offered group classes in contemporary dance, African dance/drumming, piano, voice, and music composition. Fourth and 5th graders can take classes like ballet, voice, and African dance/drumming. Ballet is taught to all kindergarteners, and music/movement/mindfulness is taught to all PreK through 1st graders.
