Mt. Airy Learning Tree was featured on CBS 3 Philly as part of their Mental Reset Series during the month of May.

Our dance instructor Marck “Flaco” Best demonstrated line dancing, and brought a group of dancers from his dance studio, Flaco’s Dance Factory in Jenkintown, to join the fun! Instructor Sheila Holiday led the dance as well, and taught the steps to keep the good times going during the full hour in Love Park!

Vicki Mehl invited all of her MALT t’ai chi students down to the park and we also had passersby join the class.
