It was a song that turned Andy Truong into a fan of Bachata, a sensual Latin dance that drew him and hundreds of other devotees to a four-day festival of morning workshops and late-night dances that ended today in Reno.

Project Graduation provides a safe, substance-free celebration for Teaneck High School seniors on the night of their high school graduation and to enable every graduating student to participate in the activities regardless of income. This is accomplished through the efforts of parents who chaperone the events and organize fundraising activities and through donations from parents, local merchants, the community and other school organizations.

If you've resolved to get fit in this exciting newish year, why not have fun while you're at it?

Specifically, this Friday you can grab two whole hours worth of dance lessons — and stay to dance afterward — at Azzucar Nightclub's salsa night.

Bachata is both a musical style and dance born in the mountains of the Dominican Republic. Some common themes in its songs are those of lost love, lost hope and betrayal --all delivered through sexual double entendres which originally gave bachata a seedy reputation that kept it hidden in the lower class barrios of its own nation for decades. It wasn’t until the 1990's that bachata became a socially acceptable music on radio stations and in the clubs in the Dominican Republic.
