From El Salvador to a classroom in DC, this teacher is passing on lessons through dance

Edwin Sorto isn’t your normal teacher… he’s a cool teacher. At least, that’s what his students say.
Edwin teaches many subjects at the college-preparatory public school KIPP DC in Washington DC, including physical education, art, dance and Spanish. But what he’s most known for are his dance moves, which are obvious as he tangos, waltzes and sambas through the school's halls.
Multiple videos of Edwin’s pint-size students’ incredible dancing skills have gone viral. But he does so much more for his kindergarten, first and second grade students than just teach them how to dance. He is bringing lessons from his life, immigrating from El Salvador to the United States as a teenager and dancing along the way.
