Latin & Native American Cultural Celebration

On Wednesday, August 25, 2010 members of the Latin Tempo Dance Studio entertained clients, staff and friends of St. Ann Center with an amazing musical and dancing spectacle.


Carlos Avila along with his wife Sonya and Latin Tempo dance members Angel, Sabrina and Melissa Lombarto presented authentic Aztec dances that both thrilled and amazed the crowd. Carlos shared stories and interesting facts about Native American culture and dance. They wore traditional "ethnic" Azetc Native American headdress and clothing, adorned with feathers, beads and shells. Please check out the St. Ann Center photo album for fantastic pictures and video of this event.


Leslie Henry, music therapist at St. Ann Center started the festivities off with an exhilarating drum circle. The children, adults, clients and staff pounded and clapped and were amazed by the drums, dancing and celebration. Part of the morning celebration included a demonstration of Latin American style Salsa dancing.
The event was followed by a scrumptious Latin & Native American feast! It was a fun-filled day!
