Ballet Folklorico
The ballet folklorico class will teach the beautiful traditional dances of various parts of Mexico. Dancing folklorico is fun and the priority will be to make sure our dancers are having fun and learning during our time together. Our dancers will learn the basic foot work and, most importantly, the skirt work. Dancers will receive a flyer on the first day of class outlining what they will need for the class.
Japanese Chorus
El Marino Japanese Chorus was founded in the Fall of 2019 to give all students a fun and moving musical experience by singing together. Our goals are to cultivate the full potential within each child, introduce beautiful and fun Japanese songs, and build each student’s skills and confidence through encouraging and creative rehearsals and performances. It is an excellent opportunity to learn Japanese. No Japanese speaking ability necessary.

Would you like your child to explore and try new foods? Does your child love gastronomy from Latin America? Does your child like to cook?
This is a hands-on cooking class taught in Spanish. SIP and JIP welcome. Students will receive a printout of the recipes cooked during the term on the last day of class.
Spanish Homework Club
Spanish Homework Club helps your child complete all of their Spanish homework Monday-Thursday. In addition to homework, it also helps those who are struggling with their reading, writing, and understanding of the Spanish Language. Every day we make sure the students finish and understand their homework and whatever they’re learning at school that day.
