Description / Interpretation: 

This mural was paid through the Student Work Program at the accompanying school. The mural itself features musical instruments, musicians, dancers that are performing Swan Lake, and other types of dance. The muralist faced some controversy over the charged political themes present in his work. Isadora Duncan (a famous dancer and open communist) is featured. Also featured is a mine dancing over Central American, which is meant to symbolize the silencing power the country has in politics. Although still generally intact, the mural has undergone some damage due to recent reconstruction.
