In the 2023-24 school year, the EJ Martinez 21st Century Out-of-School Time Program was invited to participate in the La Emi Flamenco Residency at the Lensic along with three other schools in the district. La Emi and her team, 21st Century students, staff and parent volunteers worked hard to make the performance a success! In the end, students were able to show off what they'd learn on the Lensic Performing Arts Center stage in front of families and friends. Students were thrilled to be able to perform on a stage where they have seen many performances through school opportunites.
This school year, EJ is honored to accept another invitation to learn flamenco dancing, signing and guitar playing. The performance will be held in October.
