Dates to Remember
** Costumes are usually quite simple for our "baile." As of right now, the plan is for all kiddos to wear black pants/leggings/sweatpants and a solid colored t-shirt. T-shirt color will be decided by next week! The kids and I will also discuss whether or not we want any accessories (bandana, sunglasses, etc).
Our song is called Grito Mundial by Daddy Yankee. It was thought that this would be the song for the 2010 FIFA World Cup. However, Shakira's song Waka Waka (This Time for Africa) was chosen instead. Here is a link to listen to our song! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ndnDgap00vs&list=RDndnDgap00vs
