Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

Dance costumes will make a difference in their readiness to dance and perform as they will look uniform and professional. My goal for this project is to create an artistic movement to be performed inside and outside the school that will inspire self-love, self-confidence, and life skills that will connect to all aspects of their life. what makes my dance students special is their love and determination for artistic movement, cultural traditions, and the history of movement around the world where they can connect the similarities and differences of our cultural backgrounds.
