Pink Glove Dance
December 1, 2009Time to Share
Each day I receive more emails than I care to announce as I am sure many of you do as well. Some contain valuable links to articles, announcements, exhibits, and opportunities. Much of the information I post in “student opportunities”, “professional development opportunities”, “upcoming events” or “research” that can be found on the right side of the front page of meartsed blog. Some turn into full blog posts. Sometimes I wonder for a day or two if it really meets my criteria. At full disclosure some of it goes into the trash. As my husband says “its your blog so you get to pick what you post”.
So, this YouTube video “Pink Glove Dance” I’ve received in several emails now. I’m sharing because “I get to pick” and its a worthy cause. Supposedly, once it got 1 million hits the hospital received a huge contribution, as well as offering free mammograms for the community.
Each of you probably know people who suffer from or have lost their lives to some type of cancer. This was put together to raise awareness of breast cancer by the staff at Providence St. Vincent Medical Center in Portland, Oregon. Some of these folks can really dance and all of them certainly enjoy dancing! I’ve watched this more than once… I love their facial expressions. My favorites: the custodian with the mop and the guy with the short beard, blue scrubs and the glasses on top of his operating room hat! (I think I had him as a student). Who are your favorites? Let us know in the comment section below.
Lots of energy in those dancers! Sanford Jr. High just planted a 500 bulb pink tulip garden in memory of all the lives touched by cancer. My art club members made and sold fleece scarves (many of them in pink) to pay for their art supplies and make a donation to cancer research. We can’t wait to see those tulips appear in the spring!
ah Argy this is such a Gem
Argy, You rock with the snow flakes on the website!
Commenting on a couple of the articles: Radio, the annual Freeport Community Players production, had several high school students in the Radio band this year (Freeport, Topsham and Portland)and our light board operator was from Yarmouth H.S. So excellent to have these young artists working with us older folks.
Some Bates College staffers, including me, are going to Costa Rica this spring to volunteer for a week, hopefully carrying violins for the Youth Orchestra there. I’ll be teaching dance (!) and English.
cheers, N
I am glad to hear that students are the opportunity to participate in Freeport Community Players production.
I am jealous of your trip to Costa Rica and on such a wonderful mission!
Thanks Nancy for your contributions all around!
