Children

Hung Tao Choy Mei Leadership Institute has been teaching children for over 25-years. Every year we apply for, and receive grants and donations so that we can provide free instruction during these challenging times.

We teach in a big red building with Paul Robeson on the side, on U Street NW near the intersection with 14th Street NW. 

The current free program is for DC kids ages 6 to 18 years old.  Free lessons are in:

Kung Fu,

      Chinese Lion and Dragon Dance,

            Chinese Drumming,

                 African Djembe Drumming,

                      African Dundun Drumming,

                           African Balafon.

• Uniform consisting of t-shirt, pants, sash is provided free.
• All necessary equipment, instruments, and professional instruction is provided.
• All classes are Zoom-accessible.
