"My next directive is to make sure that the educators I've chosen handle these strong-minded students with grace and mercy." In her #LCEforum keynote, Hope Boykin (@HBDance) shared her passion for dance and advice for educators! ⭐

Today at #LCEForum panel we learned a ton about fostering community dialogue and encouraging participation in the arts from leading cultural innovators from The Bronx Academy of Arts and Dance, Bronx Documentary Center, @pregonesprtt, and @ubwdance.

#MostlyMozart music director @LouisLangree put on his educator hat today and showed #LCEforum participants how to get people excited about Beethoven. He even gave an assignment: read the famous Heilgenstadt Testament. So here it is! >> https://t.co/RIin4vnTxe 🎹 🎶
