The Cajun French Ms. Hargrave was born to French-Acadian parents in the unique “Joie de Vivre” (Joy of Life) culture of southwest Louisiana and, as a result, sprinkles her captivating presentations with entertaining Ragin’ Cajun folkloric tales.

Bring your body, your curiosity, your sense of humor and learn what your body…and the body of others…is communicating to the world.
