Courtesy photo The Metteer SERRF After School Program, had the privilege of learning dance from dance instructor Rojelio Viramintez, owner of the Royal King Dance Academy. He taught students in kindergarten through fifth grade hip-hop and merengue dancing, along side his talented assistant Maribel Barba. Instruction took place over seven days, in half-hour sessions, teaching students split up into three groups: kindergarten/1st grades, 2nd/3rd grades and 4th/5th grades. Not only was it fun, but very physical, truly meeting physical education requirements. The students worked extremely hard and it paid off with a fantastic performance to a packed house of family, friends and school staff.
