Happy Gratitude & Love Your Body Week!

MCCA GRATITUDE WEEK!

As we head into the holiday season, we are ready to celebrate Gratitude Week! MCCA’s Gratitude Week will be from November 18th-22nd, and will include special giveaways and in-class activities.

At MCCA, we have so much to be thankful for! We have endless gratitude for our MCCA students, parents, families, and staff. It’s a joy and a pleasure to create art together every single day, and to create a community of artists who work together to make each day better and brighter.

CELEBRATING WITH GRATITUDE

We are excited to offer a few in-class activities during gratitude week! Students will decorate the building with a beautiful rainbow of positive affirmations, encouraging words and thankful messages. We will create crafts and cards to celebrate people in our lives that we are thankful for and participate in discussions about sharing love and gratitude in our daily lives.

In addition to in-class activities, we will also show our gratitude with a social media giveaway!! Friends and followers of MCCA will have the chance to enter a contest to win 2 FREE SHOWCASE tickets! 

LOVE YOUR BODY WEEK

This year, MCCA Gratitude Week coincides with the National Dance Education Association’s LOVE YOUR BODY week! Love your Body Week is a national campaign to encourage body positivity and celebrate all the wonderful things our bodies can do. Body image issues affect people of all ages, genders and backgrounds. While the performing arts industry is working to improve and evolve, it’s important that we continue to create a brave space for all artists to be comfortable in their bodies and to embrace every part of themselves.

It is our goal to help our young artists to recognize and honor their own strengths and abilities, to encourage open communication and to serve as positive role models for healthy self-esteem. We are so thankful for all of the amazing things our bodies are capable of and we look forward to celebrating self-love and self-acceptance with our MCCA family next week.
