Singing with Our Hands : American Sign Language Song Sign with Laurel Felice
Each week we’ll use ASL (American Sign Language) to learn the signs for a new song—letting the lyrics come to life through expressive hand movements. We’ll explore classic, spiritual, and popular songs, reviewing and practicing together, with room for your suggestions and favorites. Come enjoy a warm, creative space where your hands can “dance in the air.” Benefits include improved memory, fine-motor coordination, emotional wellbeing, and a greater sense of connection and community.
For ages 55+
Class Fee: $5/class

Meet the Teacher
Laurel Felice has studied and loved American Sign Language at Pierce College and with private teachers over many years. She feels it is a natural extension of the concepts and emotions of song, and that Song Sign offers an opportunity for creativity and expression that can bring connection and compassion.
THANK YOU FOR SUPPORTING THE DANCE ARTS
