Learn about the Spanish-speaking Caribbean through music and dance. Dance Salsa, Rueda (Cuban style), Merengue and Bachata, and  Zumba to Reggaeton music! Create Latin rhythms using the clave, a percussion instrument, and will sing along to music in Spanish. Our experience will culminate in a Latin Musical Theater in which students will perform each of the dances with a theatrical twist! Come dance your way to el Caribe!

Special Considerations

Students should feel comfortable dancing and must be flexible with dancing lead or follow role as needed. 

Knowledge of Spanish is NOT required.

We will meet at Overlake from 8:10-3, Monday-Thursday. Friday hours be 12-7pm, with parent pick-up after our performance from a location in Seattle.
