HAPPY BIRTHDAY AMERICA!! I’m working with the Clay Township Military Museum and local veteran organizations to present an engaging, inspiring, and educational event at the Carmel American Legion. Join us June 26, from 2-4 pm. Celebrate America’s birthday through storytelling (with images) of our military history. Our panel of veterans will share their own stories, or those of family members—some going back to the Revolutionary War. Learn how communication and technology have evolved and shaped our military. Enjoy birthday cake and conversation. It’s “old school”; it’s meaningful; it’s a celebration. Bring the family. Contact me or Jon Baldwin (link below) for more info or if you can volunteer to bake. It’s a free event, but please register below, so we can set up the room.

Tina Mangos and associates design and deliver arts-based programs to enhance daily life and productivity in the Carmel, Indiana area. For over 40 years in arts and education, Tina has researched and collaborated with others to organize cultural events and teach classes for youth and adults. Her successful brain-based method of teaching, which she terms “Cross-training your Brain,” combines logic with creative thinking in a step-by-step process that optimizes learning. Her classes are fun, productive, and sprinkled with humor.
Tina currently creates art and teaches:
- Youth art
- Adult ballroom dance
- “DanceBeat” Fitness and wellness
- Baby Boomer Fitness
- “The Art of Language”
“Take your brain on a dance through life.”
I emigrated from Greece as a child, grew up in Gary, pursued advanced degrees in the arts and education, and spent most of my career in Chicago. There I conducted my corporate training business, ran a dance business, and enjoyed a very busy 20 years of teaching art in the Chicago Public Schools. I’ve always juggled at least two “jobs” at the same time—not being able to quickly answer the question, “So what do you do?”
Now that I’m “retired” and living in Hamilton County, I have the flexibility to pursue my interests, to teach, and to create art at my own pace. I take time to connect with others and share ideas because unexpected things can happen to make life richer. My purpose in life remains the same: to create and teach. I’d love to hear from you. Join me on a journey and “take your brain on a dance through life.”
