The rhythms of Latin American life extend well beyond its captivating music and dance. This course will explore key regional patterns of Latin American history and culture through an examination of its historical, geographical, economic, artistic, and ethnic/racial rhythms. It will highlight the many forces—internal and external—that have affected this dynamic region, and will include opportunities to experience the rhythms of Latin American language, food, and dance firsthand.

Especially for educators in grades 6-12.
