The Carver Center gymnasium three times a week transforms into the Dynamic House of Dance, where girls from fifth-to-twelfth grade learn majorette dance, a combination of jazz, hip hop, ballet and more. The group began meeting in August and had their first performance at the Carver Center on September 21 for a basketball tournament. Nicole Mitchell, the 19-year-old choreographer and head coach originally from Memphis, Tenn., started the group. She grew up dancing and wanted to bring something different to Kokomo through the dance troupe. The Dynamic House of Dance will host another tryout at the Carver Center on Oct. 15-17, 4:30-7:30. They also plan to have an open show on December 21 at the Carver Center. -- Article and Photo credit: Kelly Lafferty Gerber

Girl's basketball is alive and well in Kokomo, IN, and it begins right here at Carver Community Center. This 6 week league has proven to be successful, and gives young ladies an outlet to express themselves and sharpen their skills. They compete every week, and play extremely tough. So fun to watch! Youth Art at Carver holds an abundance of smiles and fun. Kids get an opportunity to paint with various mediums including watercolor, acrylic, pencils, pens and markers to create fun and unique works of art. This class contains crafting as well. Keychains, lanterns made of glue and napkins make for a fun experience. Rhonda Eads has been amazing! UnderTone Music and Fine Arts is music and arts program that serves youth by teaching them to play an instrument, and give instructional art sessions. This program operates Tues-Thurs, 5-9p, through a Non profit organization called H.A.R.T. to HEART, in partnership with Carver Community Center. On the music side, kids are able to learn various instruments with an emphasis on the genre of gospel music, but are also able to learn songs outside of that genre as well; They are also learning from some of the best musicians in the city of Kokomo and in the Midwest. The art program serves as an outlet for youth to come and express themselves while they explore a multitude of art mediums. Chris Tucker was in town! The day filled with excitement due to the presence of the Rush Hour star brought an electricity to the city of Kokomo unlike any other time. Juneteenth, a celebration of freedom for enslaved Africans on American soil in 1865 has brought people of all ethnic backgrounds together for one common truth. The one an only language we should be engaging in is Love for one another. With Music provided by DJ Pugh, the support of the Kokomo Housing Authority and their resource tables, and to all of the amazing vendors that provided food, Chris Tucker being such a gracious person, the spirit of this event was incredible. Thank you to all who participated! |
