Salsabrosa
Emphasize the importance of dance in the local community. Enhance the future dance performance experience for participants through education. Increase access to dance, as well as enhancing audience comfort and confidence with unfamiliar music styles. Encourage further education and attendance at future music and/or arts events. Reinforce the idea that libraries are places to experience cultural or arts programming.
The event on a park stage had to be moved to the library when a thunderstorm, rain, and wind disrupted the show. Even though there was a change in venue and a storm, the participants kept smiling and the performers kept an upbeat attitude throughout the event. All the children enjoyed the performance and were excited to learn the dancing. A local Latino family was happy for the opportunity to bring their grandchildren to a culturally educational and fun event. After the event, one child wanted to know why the dance was called “salsa.”
