Each year South’s Cultural Society hosts World Culture Night, which displays different dances and acts from around the world.  World Culture Night this year was held on February 9th and 10th and provided a night full of excitement.  

Participants have been preparing for World Culture Night since November, attending practices numerous times a week.  Members of Cultural Society were able to sign up for how ever many acts they were interested in and followed the lead of their choreographers.  Advisors, Mrs. Patricia Franco and Mr. Jeffery Hsi and newer advisors, Ms. Hilary Ratner and Ms. Helene Mungin, ran a series of dress rehearsals that members took part in to make sure the show would be a grand success.  Students, parents, teachers, and even South alumni came out to see the spectacular show.  

The soon to be graduating seniors found it bittersweet that this was their last World Culture Night but were fortunate they got to experience being part of Cultural Society and that they were able to participate in multiple shows over the years.  Overall, the two nights ultimately displayed the hard work of all participants over the last couple of months and was a great experience for both new members and ones that have been a part of Cultural Society prior.
