The program consists of seven dance workshops and a final performance that "focus on the culture and history" related to dance and music, including reggaeton/hip hop, salsa, merengue, and cumbia.

In order to participate, please pick up a registration form in the main office, fill out both sides, sign it, and return it to Ms. Midyette in Room 303 by Thursday, April 27. Be sure to include the check for $30 made out to "Albert Hill Middle School." If you are unable to pay at this time, please contact Ms. Midyette so that she can find a teacher sponsor for your child.
