Hispanic Heritage Programs

DanceInTime has presented Hispanic Heritage Month programs for schools, libraries, workplaces, and community organizations that are educational, engaging, and fun. Available online or in person, these programs can include dance instruction, performances, and insights into Latin music and dance traditions.

Participants learn to recognize the rhythms of various popular Latin dances and may even be challenged to guess which dance is being performed! Originally developed for a Kennedy Center presentation, this interactive program combines entertainment with cultural enrichment.
