Merengue

Most recently, I took a dance class taught by a Spanish teacher at FVHS. Ms. Kennedy taught Merengue to students and teachers who wanted to learn how to dance. In reality, 90% of students came to earn cultural points for their Spanish Class. The other 10% were people like me.

To be honest, the culture points did not really mean much to me when I attended the Merengue class. I just really wanted to learn a new style of dance. Last year, Ms. Kennedy did dance classes for her students, except she taught Salsa dancing. This years first Merengue class was extremely fun. The footwork and timing of the moves were a lot different from what I usually do. In addition, I really enjoyed the Latin American music.

I plan on attending the rest of Ms Kennedy's Merengue classes because I really want to learn new dances and expand on them. To become a better dancer, one must try different and new styles of dance. In addition, my parents are very supportive of me for learning dances such as the ones on the show Dancing With the Stars.
