Performance Circle

18 Mar

The Ziibiwing Center takes pride in preserving and passing on the culture and spirit of the Anishinabek. One way the Center does this is by educating children about the culture. Throughout the year, 12-week Performance Circle classes are taught to children ages 3 to 16 years old. In these classes, children learn about a variety of things including Ojibwe language, public speaking, pow wow etiquette and vocabulary, regalia care and respect, music, songs, and dances.

Along with these lessons, the Performance Circle ultimately wants to teach children to have positive self images and to prepare them to be leaders in a multi-cultural society. Participants can also gain a stronger understanding of the Anishinabe culture and become more connected with the community.

The winter session Performance Circle’s graduation performance is this May. Visit the Ziibiwing Center website for the date and event details.

Otherwise, Mark Your Calendar this September to become a participant or to sign up a participant. Be sure to visit the Ziibiwing website and follow this blog for information about sign-up and classes this fall.
