💙 Brain Café – Week 5 This week’s theme was “Dance and the Brain,” with blue as our color of the week. Participants reflected on happy memories, learned about the connection between dance and brain health, and got moving with a fun line dance. We also shared stories about family and friends and cooled off with Patbingsu, Korean shaved ice. One participant shared, “I’m so happy to get out of the house, dance together, and enjoy delicious Patbingsu!” It was a refreshing day filled with movement, memories, and smiles. 💙 Interested in joining Brain Café?

The YWCA of Queens Korean Drum Team was thrilled to perform at Korean Heritage Night at Citi Field on August 15, 2026. We proudly showcased the dynamic rhythms and energy of traditional Korean Samulnori, bringing a piece of Korea's rich cultural heritage to baseball fans from across New York. One of the highlights of the day was inviting spectators to try the Korean percussion instruments themselves. Seeing fans smile, play, and connect with Korean culture firsthand made the event even more special. We are honored to have represented the Korean community and to have shared our traditions with thousands of attendees during this wonderful celebration of Korean heritage.
