Grazina Asakeniene, award winning dance instructor, will be featured in an interview that will be broadcast on Studija R (WNWI 1080 AM).
Grazina teaches the Lithuanian Folk Dancing class that begins here at the Cultural Center on Saturday, January 14th. Her students will learn the basics of folk dances, games and Lithuanian traditions and customs. Response to our Lithuanian language, movement and culture programs has been phenomenal because they welcome the Lithuanian population in our area to share their stories and history with their children, thus passing on their rich heritage to the next generation.
Lithuanian Folk Dancing for ages 6 to 10 year olds will be held on Saturdays starting January 14th from 2:00 to 3:00pm. To register for the class, call us at 630.696.4177.
Studija R may be heard at station 1080 AM or online at www.laikas.com. Special thanks to Raymond Lapas for his support.
