Meet Marianne's Guest Presenter, Cindy Burkhart

I am excited to bring Dr. Cindy Burkhart to Lebanon. Here's a little bit about Cindy:

Dr. Cindy Burkhart is a life-long educator. Her father's Lebanese and Syrian roots have influenced her love of Middle Eastern drumming and dance. She spent many years as a high school and university World Cultures teacher, in addition to teaching Middle Eastern Dance. Her love of this culture inspires her to share the beauty and rich history of this beautiful, low impact dance form with women of all ages.

I have known Cindy for about twenty years, as our paths cross as key women educators. Collaborating with Cindy is a great opportunity for growth and enjoyment.

Relax and Enjoy!

Cindy and some of her dancers will definitely energize and delight us. And I can think of no better place to meet than at Judy Williams Henry's Movement Laboratory in Lebanon, PA! Truly this will be an engaging experience that just may be the catalyst to a more vibrant and happier self!

For so long, women have been given false information about how to care for themselves. From marketing myths to societal expectations, it's sometimes difficult to claim your own power and strength. Our time together will be an oasis in a world of expectations and pressures. I hope you can join me.

A special thank you Judy Williams Henry for sharing her space with us. Movement Laboratory is truly a wonderful place in our Lebanon Community!
