Costa Ricans have a flair for dancing, cooking and art...and
they want you to be a part of it! At the school in San José
you will have the opportunity to practice your Spanish outside
of your regular classes in workshops designed to give you a
taste of the Costa Rican culture. Many local jewelry makers
and other artisans come to the school regularly to give lessons
in their trade, eager to share their talent, experience and
language.
Cooking
Classes
Costa Ricans ("Ticos") have simple but
delicious tropical fare that is fun to cook and
even more fun to eat. The cooking classes offered
at the small café kitchen right on school
grounds give students, and their taste buds, a delicious
introduction to Costa Rican food.
Dance
Classes
The tropical rhythms of salsa and merengue are an
integral part of Costa Rica. If you visit any of
the many dance clubs in San José, you will
be impressed by the ease and gracefulness of the
local dancers—many who have been dancing since
they were old enough to walk! You can learn to dance
to this enticing music yourself at the weekly dance
classes at school.
Jewelry
Making
This is a fun and educational class where local
jewelry makers help students design and create their
own jewelry, speaking only Spanish, of course!
