Bringing Stories to Life Through Reading, Dance, and Connection
The Sachi Y Bacha School Program is an engaging literacy experience that combines storytelling, movement, and meaningful life lessons to inspire children to read, dream, and work together.
Based on the children’s book Sachi Y Bacha: A Sister Rivalry, students are introduced to two sisters who discover that love, teamwork, and self-confidence are more important than competition.
After the interactive book reading, students are invited to get on their feet and participate in a fun beginner-friendly salsa and bachata dance workshop. No dance experience is required—just a willingness to have fun!
