Students from Señora Warsing’s Spanish 4 and Señora Shoemaker’s Spanish 3 classes recently enjoyed a performance by the Hispanic Flamenco Ballet in Allentown. Dancers and musical performers from Spain and Latin America put on a show that included various styles of dance, many costume changes, the history of many of the dances presented in Spanish, and dance lessons for a few of our BHHS students.
After enjoying the performance, the students enjoyed lunch at Plaza Azteca. It was a fun day of dancing, good food, and practicing español!
