Join the Corazon Latino Dance Troupe
The Corazon Latino Dance Troupe is open to all students in grades 3 through 12 whose families are PLAC members. It is a performance-oriented troupe that learns, rehearses and performs traditional Latin American dances primarily during the winter and spring months. The highlight of the season traditionally is performance at the Festival of Nations in St. Paul in early May. The troupe also has several special performances throughout the spring.
Check out the pictures from last year at the photo gallery!

About La Semana
La Semana is a week long culture camp for children adopted from Latin America and their families. It includes a variety of age-appropriate activities designed to promote self-esteem and foster an understanding of Latin American culture and history. [Friends] The children learn Latin crafts and dances, try Latin foods, hear Latin music and are exposed to written and spoken Spanish. There is also plenty of time for campers to have fun and make friends. It quickly becomes a summer tradition for many families.  La Semana (Spanish for "The Week") is open to children from elementary through high school and draws families from across the United States and Canada. 456 campers attended in 2009. Be sure to register early because many classes fill up. La Semana 2009 will be held from Monday August 2nd through Friday August 6th. The camp culminates with a Fiesta on Friday where all the campers dress in traditional costumes and perform dances learned during the week. Each year a different country of influence is studied. This year it is Colombia. |
