Music is in the air. Here in Chile, Chileans have come to love the Puerto Rican and Domincan music. You can often here salsa and merengue being played in my night clubs. Chileans also love to dance cumbia (from Columbia) and reggeton (from Puerto Rico). Recently, the city of Vina del Mar had their 50th Festival de Viña Celebration. This is a week long string of concerts and song competitions. Crowd favorites included: Marc Anthony, Santana, Juanes and Daddy Yankee.
I decided to bring a little bit of music to my job, so I started a Salsa class in English here. The class is very popular and my students love practicing their salsa moves and their english language skills. Since the class has been so popular, my boss has made me Director of Extra Cirricular Activities at work. I am currently working on putting together a English theater program and a pen-pal system between my students here and my CSS students in NYC. I am enjoying the many opportunites that I am creating for myself and others here in Chile and abroad. Never a dull moment; this is an exciting adventure.
