The fusion of both musical styles; Cuban music and African-American jazz was largely due to musicians and dancers throughout the area beginning to familiarise themselves with both of the musical techniques. The fusion happened in 1940 in the city of New York through the beginning of Machito and the Afro-Cubans orchestra, which was under directorship of Cuban trumpeter Mario Bauzá who essentially created the Latin Jazz through fusing jazz arrangements with Afro- Cuban percussion rhythm.
The dance program at my school best represents who I am because over the past four years, I have made strong friendships and have been given many opportunities that have made me a better dancer and person. As an involved member in the program, I have been able to participate in community events such as city-wide parades and Trunk or Treat. I have been selected to participate in dance festivals at local colleges where I was able to take classes from prestigious teachers. My favorite thing about the dance program is that grade does not matter; everyone is friends and everyone helps each other out. When I was a sophomore, I met a senior who was in my class that quickly became a friend and mentor to me.
