Easton Country Day School is organizing a town wide effort to participate in National Dance Day. Specifically, Students’ CREATE (Coalition for the Reinforcing Enrichment of Adolescents Through Expression), a group of creative high school age students, wants to celebrate National Dance Day by showing what a small creative force can make happen. We invite you to come join “The  Macarena Project – Can You Dance to it?” with us and to test our theory; you can dance the Macarena to any song! We will be submitting a tape of the two wide performance to the National Dance Day website.
