1. Each Summer Echoes Of Nature changes up its lineup of three programs. For 2023 we are pleased to offer:

Dancing With the Animal Stars

Who likes to dance?  We dance for many reasons.  Why do animals dance?  Let’s meet some “dancing” animals and discover their reason to dance.

Animals In My Backyard

What are some of the animals that we might find in our backyard or surrounding areas?  Meet some live animals that might be living near you!

Animals of Kung Fu

 

Kung Fu and other martial art masters observed nature for inspirations of the katas or forms for their disciplines.  Meet some animal ambassadors whose moves inspired the katas of the martial arts. Learn some of the moves named after these animals.
