Celebrating its’ 25th anniversary in 2011, Au Pair in America has teamed up with Paul Collins, Dance Leader of Ethnic Dance Chicago for a fun, multi-cultural and instructive evening of Ethnic Folk Dancing that is free and open to the public. Audience participation is encouraged!

“We are so very excited to celebrate International Peace Day and to be pairing with Mr. Collins and Ethnic Dance Chicago,” states Au Pair in America’s Winnetka counselor Renee Bernal. “The goal of peace and understanding is more important than ever and we are very fortunate to have very conscientious and global-thinking au pairs who want to share their culture with the people of Winnetka.”

Attendees will meet au pairs from around the world that are living for a year in Winnetka with area families. The au pairs will share their native dances as the “second language” of dance helps to advance Au Pair in America’s mission of bringing the world together on such an important day.

To further celebrate International Peace Day, Au Pair in America will also host another event at leoleno at 976 Green Bay Road Winnetka, on Weds., September 21 from 10am to 11am and from 4pm to 5pm. Au pairs from different countries will be on hand to share treats and their culture as well lead children in a flag-making activity.
