Spanish Club Learns Flamenco Moves
 The Spanish Club went on a field trip to see two shows: Latin Rhythms and Spanish Flamenco. Both shows included audience participation. ND students (and Miss Alberti) were able to play musical instruments with the band and dance to their own music. They also were taught some Spanish flamenco moves. After the shows, the group went to a Spanish restaurant and feasted on numerous "tapas". What a wonderful way to top off our culture-infused trip!
