Experiential Learning in Modern Languages
Modern Languages Programs offer exciting social opportunities that are open to all students. Gain linguistic and cultural knowledge through Hispanic Dance Sessions, Tertulia, Hispanic Film Festival, Spanish Club.
Hispanic Dance Sessions
The department, together with the Spanish Club, sponsors the Hispanic Dance Sessions at FHSU. Through the dance sessions, we all have a chance to immerse ourselves in the dance, which is an integral part of Hispanic culture.
Hispanic Dance Sessions help promote the Hispanic culture at FHSU and in Hays, Kansas (sessions are free and also open to the community”. We all learn about different cultures and diversity through the dances and the music.
Sessions are held every Wednesday in Cunningham Hall 122. Flamenco, salsa, tango, zambra, and ballet exercise (for adults) are the dance styles taught. For more information, please contact Dr. Chita Espino-Bravo.
Tertulia
Enjoy speaking Spanish in a relaxed environment with fellow students, faculty, and members of the Hays community. For more information, contact Dr. Chita Espino-Bravo.
Hispanic Film Festival
The Hispanic Film Festival was designed to create the opportunity for FHSU students, faculty, and the community of Hays, Kansas, to experience Hispanic culture through film. All the films we show are in Spanish with English subtitles and deal with past or contemporary issues of the Hispanic world. For more information, contact Dr. Chita Espino-Bravo.
Spanish Club
The Spanish Club is a departmental organization created for students and people interested in learning more about Hispanic Culture. This club helps organize events like Hispanic Dance Sessions (salsa, samba, flamenco...etc.), so that students, faculty and the Hays community learn about Hispanic culture through music, dances, and dancing.
The Spanish Club also organizes fundraisers, like salsa parties, to help the club get some funding. Most of the members of the Spanish Club are Spanish Majors and Minors in the Spanish Program, but the club welcomes people interested in learning more about Hispanics, and their different cultures.
