Laurel Project 华苑 is New York City’s premiere Chinese enrichment program, drawing on years of experience with a proven pedagogical method –
engage, inspire and absorb! www.LaurelProject.com
We train children through two languages: Mandarin and the universal language of dance. Incorporating cultural tradition into linguistic learning, we also provide an antidote to the sit n’ screen culture so prevalent today. Under the personal guidance of Mei-Yin Ng, an accomplished dancer, choreographer, and educator, our children move, learning to speak, sing, and dance Chinese.
Laurel Project 华苑 was founded for Chinese-American children to connect with their heritage and for American born children to expand their cultural worldview. Our dance curriculum is based on the Beijing Dance Academy dance syllabus (北京舞蹈学院教学大纲)
