testimonials

The artists were great. They kept the children engaged. Their performance was fused with audience participation from singing, making percussion sounds and physical movement. The children even had a chance to learn and play the instruments.

My students loved Samba to Salsa! They had so much fun learning about Hispanic music and dancing. It was a great way to celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month.
