Bilingual children’s group Vyla Vyla draws strong turnout at Sue Carter Community Room
Summary
Performers from Vyla Vyla led a bilingual music and movement program for children ages 0–5 at the Sue Carter Community Room in El Segundo City, with parents and caregivers praising the group’s energy and multicultural messaging.
Vyla Vyla, a bilingual music and movement group, performed for families with children ages 0–5 during a recent event at the Sue Carter Community Room in El Segundo City. Attendees said the program drew a larger-than-expected crowd and showcased Spanish-language songs and activities aimed at early learners.
Organizers and audience members described the program as a mix of education and entertainment. “We started with just making an album, then coming up with the educational program. We do parent and me classes,” said Performer (Vyla Vyla). “We started getting invited to schools, to festivals, to libraries, and little by little get recognition. So it's a good mixture between education and entertainment.”
Parents and caregivers praised the performers’ approach to welcoming young children and promoting bilingualism. An Attendee said, “The community loves the energy and the bilingual, movement and music that we are bringing the community together and enjoying for our 0 to 5 year olds.” Another Attendee added, “The multiculturalism is really important for him, so we really enjoyed it.”
Performers and attendees highlighted the outreach value of city and library programming. “The fact that the city and the library programs are putting time and effort and energy into this opportunity for the kids, bringing in the outside entertainment and, certainly the exposure is, very much appreciated,” an Attendee said.
Onstage remarks emphasized bilingualism as an asset for children. “One of my big mottos is that being bilingual is having a super super power,” said Performer (Vyla Vyla). The performer said the group encourages children to learn words and phrases in Spanish during shows.
Speakers noted the variety of caregivers in the audience, including grandparents and nannies, and the performers described how they engage children who may be shy in larger crowds. An Attendee summarized the event as “super enjoyable” and said the turnout exceeded expectations.
No formal city action, funding decisions, or policy measures were discussed during the remarks excerpted in the transcript. The comments recorded were promotional and testimonial about the performance and the value of bilingual early-childhood programming.
