Featured on this Youtube link are both productions of the Cobden High School's ESL Club Dance Team dances, both outdoor and indoor, from Oct 31, 2022. This version was photographed and edited by Cobden High School's AV Club, for Appleknocker News. ESL Club worked for two months before and after school preparing for this Día de los Muertos presentation. ESL Club is voluntarily sponsored by Angelica Guijon and Esmeralda Tomas. The students took great pride in their presentation of this dance, and the communities of Cobden and Alto Pass were quite impressed with their work.
