Latin Cultural Performance

The Immersion Program will put on our seventh annual Latin Cultural Performance.  Each class will learn and dance a different type of latin dance (flamenco, salsa, folklorico, tango, etc.). Our class is learning the Sevillanas flamenco from Sevilla, where I studied abroad in college.

The evening is divided into two separate presentations due to the amount of people and limited seating in the amphitheater. There will be a 30 minute intermission in between. We are in the first act from 5-5:30. You will drop your child off in my classroom at 4:40 and then find a seat. Some of you have other children in the program and may watch both presentations.

Date:  Wednesday, April 1st  Time:  5pm (1st round)

Outfits

Girls:  The PTA was generous enough to purchase dresses for the girls.  They will be reused in the future, so please return them washed after using them for the performance. I already sent them home to see if they fit. They are meant to fit tightly. The Medium is significantly bigger, so keep that in mind. Please iron them for the day of the performance.

Black dress shoes and black stockings, hair combed to the side. A red rose will be provided to put in their hair. Let me know if the bag DOES NOT include a rose.

Boys:
