About the DACHE Project:
Beginning in February, the DACHE Project is a 16-week program that will include multiple forms of Latin and Caribbean dance and music, as well as media arts and production. This course will enrich the access BLA students have to artistic education and support BLA's efforts to make culturally relevant pedagogy a larger part of the teaching curriculum. During the first half of the program, students will immerse themselves in dance forms from across Latin America and the Caribbean.
