The auditorium at the Breslin Performing Arts Center at Felician University, in Lodi NJ, transformed into a stage showcasing the rich tapestry of music and dance from across the region! Students swayed to the infectious rhythms of Salsa, with its roots in both Puerto Rico and Cuba. The dancers' intricate footwork and playful energy had the audience clapping along. Argentina took center stage next, with the passionate intensity of the Tango and the lively footwork of La Chacarera. Colombia brought the heat with El Vallenato's romantic melodies and the infectious energy of La Champeta. Students even had a taste of Spain's cultural richness, with the energetic El Chotis from Madrid and the mesmerizing spectacle of a live Tablao Flamenco. This showcase was a true testament to the incredible cultural richness of Latin America and Spain, leaving everyone wanting to learn more and move to the rhythm!
