Lula Lounge Excursion: LCS Students Embrace Dance, Language, and Culture
Students in our Spanish and French classes recently had the opportunity to visit Lula Lounge—a live music venue and restaurant—in Toronto.
A group of 77 enthusiastic learners learned about the rhythmic beats of Cuban Salsa and the intricate movements of Haitian Dance and Body Percussion through workshops led by professional artists.
As part of the immersive experience, students enjoyed a delicious, traditional Haitian meal, adding a flavourful touch to their exploration of different traditions.
What made this excursion even more enriching was the blend of languages used throughout the workshops. With instructions delivered in a mix of Spanish, French, and English, students not only learned new dance techniques but also practiced their language skills through listening and speaking with one another and their instructors. The also instructors peppered the workshops with information about Haiti's history and cultural diversity, both of which are important factors that influenced their dance, cuisine, and culture.
Kudos to our students for embracing this unique opportunity with enthusiasm and curiosity, and to the organizers for creating an enriching experience that will hopefully stay with them for years to come!
