Dancing your heart away

Why would you want to watch a kids dancing contest when your children are not competing?

Because it's madly fun.

It's hard to see fifth graders move to the Rumba, Salsa or Tango and not want to jump up and join them. And hearing the laughter and wild screams of their classmates is simply irresistible. So if you're in the neighborhood of the Salinas Community Center in Sherwood Hall Tuesday at 6 p.m., I heartily suggest you check the Colors of the Rainbow Team match, where the fifth-graders of Salinas City Elementary will compete for the right to represent their district in the upcoming regional competition.

This is how Diane Franciscovich, board member of Dancing Classrooms Monterey County, puts it: "Everyone who attends leaves with a warm feeling in their hearts and huge smile on their faces."
