Spanish Club hosted another Virtual Talent Show after receiving the Best New Program award for the event this fall.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Virtual Talent Show took place last Friday evening with judges over Zoom and the performers in person.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nathan Dozier played two songs on his semi-acoustic guitar for the opening act.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sofi Tiscanero performed a lyrical dance and a country line dance.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dr. Nicole English, an assistant professor of Sociology at FHSU, danced the zambra, a type of flamenco dance.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Isabel Johnson played two classical piano pieces.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And after a brief intermission, the FHSU Barn Hoppers showed off some country swing dancing.

The Barn Hoppers won 3rd place, Dozier won 2nd, and Tiscanero won 1st as well as fan favorite.

At this year\u2019s Student Organization Awards Reception (SOAR), Spanish Club won three total awards.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tiscanero, Spanish Club treasurer, won the Diversity Ally award.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Spanish Club also won the Civic Engagement award for its regular Hispanic dance sessions.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Johnson, Spanish Club president, is a KAMS senior and will be attending Indiana University next year where she will major in microbiology and Spanish.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With only four performers this spring, Johnson hopes there will be more participation in the future.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI believe that once we can hold the event both in-person and online we will have more participants,\u201d Johnson said, \u201cI am looking forward to having an increased participation within the club and the ability to hold in-person events again.\u201d

For non-performers, the Virtual Talent Show cost $2 to watch as a way of fundraising for the club.
