Welcome To Zohar's Blog!

Hello!

I have decided blog about my parents' dance studio, Zohar, that will be celebrating its 30th anniversary in September 2009.

Over the past 30 years, Zohar has reached thousands of individuals through its dance classes and community outreach programs. It is unique because it reaches special constituents such as children with disabilities, incarcerated youth and children from at-risk communities around the bay area.

My goal is to use this blog to document not only the stories of individuals who have been touched by Zohar's commitment to the community over the past three decades, but also to explore the use of social networking and other forms of new media within a diverse population.

In addition to this goal, I will be working on the anniversary party which I hope will include a multimedia rich time line of Zohar's history. I think it would be fantastic if current and former Zohar students and community members were to post videos and even audio clips of their favorite Zohar memories which I will hopfully be able to mesh together into a final product.

Looking forward to jumpstarting this project!

Maile
