Episcopal teacher Renee Chatelain’s Mid-City Dance Company was selected to represent Louisiana in the Wall of America art project. Artist Ellen Griesedieck is incorporating the footprints of children from the Mid-City Dance Company into her 120-foot, five-story painting, which will incorporate a project from all 50 states.

The completed Wall of America will be displayed in Winsted, Conn.

Ms. Chatelain, a social studies and dance teacher at Episcopal, co-founded the Mid-City Dance Company to give inner-city youth an opportunity to participate in dance.
