Recently, juniors and seniors in Ms. Nicole Gendjoian’s Spanish and
Culture class traveled to Queens Community College to see a Latin Dance
performance. After wrapping up a unit on Latin music, the class was able
to experience what they learned in the classroom firsthand through the
performance.
Students experienced traditional and contemporary dance, including
Cumbia from Colombia, Mexican Jarabe Tapatio, Samba from Brazil,
Argentinean Tango, and others. Juniors Meagan St. Aubain and Justin
Tiernan participated in the interactive portion of the show, and had the
opportunity to dance with the performers on stage. The students enjoyed
the experience, and loved that the cultural experience brought what
they learned in class to life.
