Throughout the year, classes in Latin Dance and taught in spanish, will supplement spanish language classes provided to students. Students from 6th to 8th grades will be immersed in the experience during the whole school year and will demonstrate the dances they learned during an in-school performance for family and fellow students at the end of the program. 

Over 200 students will be directly impacted through the 208 classes taking place over the course of 8 months.
