Ritmo en Accion - Spanish for "Rhythm in Action," is a dance troupe of 15 high school students. They learn Latin dance styles and hip hop from professional dancers.

A group of teenagers in a crime-ridden Boston neighborhood has been taking action for more than six years, helping to keep young people off the city's violent streets.  They use the vibrant steps of Latin and contemporary dance as their tool.  VOA's June Soh reports that the group has received national recognition. Carol Pearson narrates.
