John Maxwell stated “A leader is one who knows the way, goes the way, and shows the way.†Aspiring leaders can learn the principal of leadership by developing the confidence to show “others the way†through dance. In the same token, a good follow expresses the ability to be a great team member, thus swing dancing is an excellent tool to teach youth the life skills of leading self, communicating with others, and learning the balance of power and influence. In fact, life is not about getting to a certain place on the floor, it’s enjoying the steps and interactions of others along the way!
“Teaching Leadership Through Swing Dance” is a workshop conducted in partnership with South Florida Lindy Collective and The University of Florida/IFAS Miami-Dade 4-H Youth Development Program.

Good afternoon! I am a research assistant at the Infant Development Lab at FIU under Dr. Lorraine Bahrick.
Our lab conducts federally-funded research on infant and child development. Currently, we are recruiting a select group of highly motivated and interested parents of 2 to 3-month-olds to be part of an important, new project. Mothers and their children would become part of establishing norms for the typical development of attention and perception, while also learning more about their own child’s development. Parents will be compensated with $30 each visit and $300 at the end of the study.
There are no risks associated with participation. If you have any questions or would like to become one of our research families, call us at 305-348-7367. Be sure to like us on our Facebook Page (https://www.facebook.com/pages/Infant-Development-Lab-at-FIU/106360406106073) and follow us on twitter @infantlabFIU!

Knight Foundation, where Moran will meet iconic street skater and childhood hero Mark Gonzales (also known as “Gonz†or “The Gonzâ€) for the first time. Often called the Salvador Dali of skateboarding, Gonz has been credited with reinventing the wheel for street skaters and bringing street skating to the forefront with a 1984 cover for Thrasher magazine.
Following the talk, Moran will share a site-specific iteration of this body of work replete with a carved-out half-bowl, half-pipe ramp installed on the Plaza in a family-friendly, multidisciplinary Outside the Box performance on the YoungArts Plaza. Featuring Miami’s best street skaters organized by professional skateboarder Joel Meinholz and acclaimed skateboard photographer Ian O’Connor, audiences will experience a 360-degree immersion filled with the art of improvisation in both music and sport. STARR Catering Group will be offering a range of beverage options, and light to hearty bites will be available for purchase.
The National YoungArts Foundation identifies and nurtures the most accomplished young artists in the visual, literary, design and performing arts and assists them at critical junctures in their educational and professional development.

PARTNER INFORMATION
Life Is Art
Life Is Art is presenting a number of excellent local artists showcasing a wide variety of visual art styles.
Yo Miami & Kondoit
A hub for local artists, Yo Miami has grown since 2011 into an ecosystem where creatives can get access to resources & contacts to help them reach the next level of success in their careers. By working with businesses, nonprofi t & community organizations we are able to foster a network which enables us to create opportunities throughout the year for artists to demonstrate their talents in ways that add value to our neighborhoods. With several monthly events at various venues around Wynwood, we continually o ffer a platform where emerging artists can reach a wider audience. At the same time, we show business owners the benefits associated with incorporating arts programming into their operations, & help foster the growth of our local communities through this synergy. For Dwntwn Arts Fair we will be hand picking a lineup from Miami’s top artists. These artists will be live painting and displaying their work throughout the weekend. We encourage you to stop by our booth to meet these up and coming talented creatives to discover what inspires and motivates them, and watch them work live and in person.
Buskerfest
We strive for a connected, thriving urban core where the streets of Miami are active and enlivened with local performers, enjoyed by people of all ages and walks of life. We envision a joyous place that is reflective of the tropical urban landscape and attractive to locals and visitors alike.
Celebrate Diversity Miami
Celebrate Diversity Miami’s 2015 Photoâ€voice Exhibit focuses on celebrating the diversity of our greater Miami community with a unique array of large-scale photographs. It features 60 beautiful, vibrant images submitted by residents, schools, and organizations from across Miami-Dade County. Join us in celebrating our incredible culturally and ethnically diverse neighborhoods. Give a #DiversityMiami shout-out with a picture or postcard, and share what makes the place you call home awesome!
FoodSpark
By way of delicious food and great conversation, FoodSpark Miami will provide a fun, interactive gathering space for diverse groups of greater Miami residents to connect with one another, discuss key social issues with fellow citizens, and figure out how we can collaborate to improve the quality of life in our local neighborhoods. FoodSpark Miami is made possible in part by the 8-80 Cities Emerging City Champions 2015 Fellowship, which is funded by the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation.
Indiegals
Every indie needs a hand, and we¹ve partnered with artists from all over to bring a uniquely curated expo of artisanal goods, earthy designs, and conscious driven showcases. We¹ve connected with the indigenous tribe from Valle de Sibundoy in the Alto Putumayo region of Colombia, to bring the tribe’s delicately handcrafted jewelry, organic essential oils, and raw incense, led by the tribe¹s artist Yolimar Loreto & the tribe-women. Also from Colombia, we present for the first time in the U.S Hagakure Home a small company based in Medellin whose home décor is derived from organic materials, raw fabrics, and designed with earthy elements. We¹re bringing goods for the home and lifestyle. Then a young, hip, and hippie indie group of artists called Gypsy Halos will be dancing around our tent expressing their love and spirit through flower crowns, leafy jewelry designs, and airy fashions. This movement is not just focused on the younger generation. We¹ve connected with our baby boomer warrior woman who¹s love for mother Earth has helped her develop an artistic eye for floral designs; Esperanza (Hope) will bring to our expo her creative orchid, succulents, air flower gardens. Last but not least, our tent will feature an art showcase called Monsterz, an Anti-bullying picturesque story created by Miami’s local Tuli. We will feature other random goodies, our farmer friends may stop by with organic goods, or maybe we¹ll have a pop-up artist color us alive! This is what Indie Gals does, we dig deep into the roots and help elevate indie creatives so that we can all break through the noise. Everyone deserves to feel the sunshine of success on their face.

Cost: $15 All Tickets
Humongous on humor and large on laughs, the story of The Big Friendly Giant was Roald Dahlʼs personal favorite. On stage, his whizzcracklingly wacky tale comes to life with puppets and people creating a fantastical world of towering giants and magical adventures. In the Big Friendly Giant, we join two misfits on an unforgettable odyssey. The job of this larger-than-lifevegetarian is to blow magical dreams into children’s bedrooms. For a youngorphan “human beanâ€, however, the sight of the giant is too much and she fears for her life when he takes her away to an enchanted land. The harmless, cheeky Big Friendly Giant ultimately shows that heroes can come in all sizes.
