Kudos to Catasauqua High School students from Mrs. DeBoer’s Spanish classes who recently traveled to the Hispania American Show for a high-energy celebration of Latin American culture. This experience brought classroom lessons to life through live music and dance from countries like Cuba, Colombia and Mexico.

Students got to see professional performances of rhythms like salsa, cumbia and merengue. Student Christian B. even joined the dancers and students from other schools on stage for the interactive finale.

The students enjoyed experiencing the history and traditions of the Spanish-speaking world firsthand.
