This is a narrative about a competitive Latin dance team from Albert Einstein High School in Kensington, MD. I followed the team for the month leading up to its major competition in November at Strathmore. The story shows how Latin dance builds community and shapes identity for a new generation of young immigrants. Published in Bethesda Magazine/March-April 2014.
The District of Columbia’s Language Access Law passed in 2004, but a report from advocacy group Many Languages, One Voice criticizes the law’s implementation and enforcement. My story published in New America Media in June 2012.
